Retro Mug and Tumblers

Faceted Tumbler:

1. Begin with properly fired cone 04 bisque. Moisten a sponge and wipe bisque to remove any dust.
2. Use the pencil to draw 4 wavy lines going around the tumbler. This will create 5 different sections. The directions will refer to each section as 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th going from top to bottom.
3. Using the Script Liner with SC-28 Blue Isle, apply 2 coats to the 5th section and bottom of the tumbler. Allow glaze to dry between coats.
4. Using the Script Liner with SC-80 Basketball, apply 2 coats to the 2nd and 4th sections. Allow glaze to dry between coats.
5. Using the Script Liner with SC-51 Poo Bear, apply 2 coats to the 1st and 3rd sections. Allow glaze to dry between coats.
6. Squeeze out around 1 TSP of SC-99 Charming onto the palette. Take the back of the brush handle and dip it into the glaze. Press in the middle of the 3rd section, going around the tumble. Repeat until you have a line of dots going around the tumbler.
