Pineapple Platter

Designer: Elizabeth Carey

Instructions

  1. Begin with properly fired cone 04 bisque. Moisten a sponge and wipe bisque to remove any dust.
  2. Using the Soft Fan with CN-081 Light Wine, apply 2 coats to the front of the platter. Allow glaze to dry between coats. Allow final coat to dry to the touch, but not to bone dry.
  3. Cut out a circle around the pineapple pattern. Place the pineapple on the tray and trace with the pencil. Repeat, moving and twisting the pattern, until the tray is full.
  4. Using the Script Liner with SC-16 Cotton Tail, apply 2 coats to each pineapple. Allow glaze to dry between coats.
  5. Using the Script Liner with SC-6 Sunkissed, apply 2 coats to the body of each pineapple. Allow glaze to dry between coats.
  6. Using the Script Liner with SC-26 Green Thumb, apply 1 coat to a few of the leaves on the top of each pineapple. Dip the brush in glaze and make 1 firm stroke for each leaf.
  7. Allow glaze to dry completely.
  8. Using FD-258 Pure White, squeeze a design on the body of each pineapple. You can use lines, dots or squiggles.
  9. Using SG-401 White, outline the pineapples and make accent lines inside the green leaves. Make lines, dots or squiggles to fill in some of the background on the platter.
  10. Using the Soft Fan with SC-15 Tuxedo, apply 2 coats to the back of the platter. Allow glaze to dry between coats.
  11. Dip into NT-CLR Clear One Dipping.
  12. Fire to cone 06.
