Instructions

  1. Begin with properly fired shelf cone 04 bisque. Moisten a clean sponge and wipe bisque to remove any dust.
  2. Using a RB144 #4 Soft Fan, apply 2 coats of SW128 Cordovan to the inside of the mug, the handle, and the top ½” of the outside.
  3. Using a CB106 #6 Script Liner, paint dots or another pattern by applying 2 coats of SW128 Cordovan – avoid applying the design to close to the bottom of the piece; this combination can be very fluid.
  4. Using a RB144 #4 Soft Fan, apply 1 coat of SW222 Green Jasper to the outside of the mug. (2 coats if you’re a light glazer)
  5. Use a damp sponge to clean any excess glaze that may have got on the foot.
  6. Place directly on the kiln shelf and fire to cone 6.
