Instructions

  1. Apply three coats of SC016 Cotton Tail to the top of the plate and allow to dry. 
  2. Pour the other colors of Stroke & Coat into the AC220 Detail Bottles and Tips. Cut the top of the tips off the spouts.  
  3. Take the three chunks of moist clay, roll them into balls, and press them evenly spaced onto the bottom of the plate over the foot ridge.  
  4. Press the plate and balls of clay firmly onto the pottery wheel. Give it a little wiggle to ensure that it’s properly gripping and won’t fly off.  
  5. Start up the wheel at about ¾ max speed. 
  6. Begin with your first bottle of color and squeeze out a few rings of thick color onto the spinning plate. Repeat for the other two colors. 
  7. When all the colors are squeezed onto the plate, run the wheel at full speed for a few seconds. Slowly stop the wheel and remove plate from the wheel and blobs of clay.  
  8. Allow the face of the plate to dry and add three coats of SC015 Tuxedo to the back of the plate.  
  9. Allow plate to dry, stilt, and fire to cone 06 

 

Additional Adaptations & Tips

  • For a more mixed look to the colors, apply two coats of SC016 Cotton Tail to the face of the plate and allow to dry.  Pour out enough color for another coat onto a paper plate and bring with to the wheel. After attaching your plate, add a third wet coat os SC016 Cotton Tail and immediately begin applying the rings of color to the fresh coat of wet glaze just like the above instructions.
