Instructions

  1. Cover 8 paper plates with plastic wrap.  
  2. Place one of each of the listed Stroke & Coat colors onto one of each covered plate. Allow the colors to dry out. This may take some time. 
  3. Once the colors are dry, break the colors up to create crumbles. Mix all the colors together and place on a paper dinner plate. 
  4. Begin with properly fired shelf cone 04 bisque. Moisten a clean sponge and wipe bisque to remove any dust.   
  5.  Pour some SG302 Rapid Roll Black Glaze into a small cup. Pour the glaze into the vas and roll the glaze around the inside of the vase slowly covering the inside of the vase.  Drain the glaze out of the vase. Leave the vase upside down to fully drain. When the shine is gone, wipe off any spills with a damp sponge. Allow to dry! Note: Do not return any excess glaze back into the bottle to prevent the glaze from being contaminated. 
  6. Using a CB-604 #4 Soft Fan, apply 1 coat of FN009 Black to the bottom of the vase and 3 coats to the upper rim of the vase. Allow to dry between each coat. 
  7. Using a CB604 #4 Soft Fan, dampen lower section of the vase with some water. When the shine is gone, apply a coat of FN009 Black. While the FN009 Black is still wet, roll the vase into the plate of crumbles covering the lower section of the vase. Press lightly to help attach to the wet glaze. Allow to dry! 
  8. Stilt and Fire to Cone 06/05. 

 

Additional Adaptations & Tips

  • Make sure to shake the Stroke & Coats well. 
  • No Glaze needed over top of the Stroke & Coat Colors. 
  • The Rapid Roll takes the guess work out of thinning the black or white glaze for inside hard to reach pieces. 
  • Do not return any excess Rapid Roll glaze back into the bottle to prevent the glaze from being contaminated.
