Rainbow Bubble Underglaze Mug

Instructions

  1. Begin by wiping down the bisque with a damp sponge. Using the Fan Brush, coat the inside of the mug with three coats of UG010.  
  2. While the inside of the mug is drying, prep the bubble color solution. Each color of underglaze gets its own cup. Mix each color with one part glaze, one part soap, and two parts water.  
  3. Take the first color and blow bubbles in the solution with a straw. Using a spoon, stir to fluff up the bubbles and make them smaller. Use the spoon to plop sections of bubbles onto the outside of the mug. Allow the bubbles to pop naturally.  
  4. Repeat step 3 with each color.  
  5. Once the bubbles have dried, apply two coats of S2101 Crystal Clear Brushing Glaze to the whole mug.  
  6. Allow to dry, stilt, and fire to cone 06.  

Additional Adaptations & Tips

  • To reduce possible smearing of the bubbles when applying the clear coat, bisque fire the mug to cone 04 before applying the clear glaze.
