Stoneware Underglaze Sgraffito Plate

Instructions

Begin with properly fired shelf cone 04 bisque. Moisten a clean sponge and wipe bisque to remove any dust.
Using a CB604 #4 Soft Fan, apply 1 coat of UG223 Apricot to one third of the plate. Followed by UG204 Orange to the next third (middle) of the plate and finally UG207 Flame Red, blending the colors into each other. Allow to dry.
Repeat step 2 again. When dry apply a third coat blending the colors into each other. Allow to dry.
Using a CB604 #4 Soft Fan, apply 2 coats of UG050 Jet Black. Apply the second coat when the first has lost its shine.
Using a toothpick or bamboo skewer, scratch through the UG050 Jet Black allowing the color under it show through. This design was done free handed creating leaves and veins going around the outer edge of the plate. When dry dust off any crumbs from the sgraffito of the leaves.
Using a CB604 #4 Soft Fan, apply 3 coats of UG050 Jet Black to the back of the plate, either the low fire plate or the stoneware plate.
Using a CB604 #4 Soft Fan, apply 2 coats apply 2 coats of SW001 Stoneware Clear to the piece except to the foot of the piece. Allow to dry.
