Rainforest Lantern
Designer: Kaitlyn Miller
Instructions
Build:
- Starting with a leather hard wheel thrown cylinder, draw pattern in to surface with a pencil. Choose a simple shape to repeat around your cylinder to create a pattern
- Cut out shapes using a fettling knife, needle tool or Exacto knife- depending on how detailed the shape is you may need to switch tools
- Save cut out shapes to add back into design
- Add shapes back into design by attaching them to the surface of your cylinder by slip and scoring
- Clean all edges with a damp sponge or fingers to smooth
- Allow to dry completely
- Bisque fire to Cone 04
Glaze:
- Wipe bisque down with a damp sponge to remove any dust
- Using a soft fang brush, apply 3 coats of Rainforest (SW185) to your piece, allowing each coat to dry in between application and leaving the bottom of the piece clean of glaze
- Allow to dry
- Glaze fire to Cone 6
