Instructions


  1. Begin with properly fired shelf cone 04 bisque. Moisten a clean sponge and wipe bisque to remove any dust.

  4. Using a empty wine or cordial bottle, roll out another piece of clay and place the bottle onto it cut round the bottom of the bottle to give you a circle approx 4 inches round.
  5. Place the other piece of clay with your leaves on, over the bottle to give it a curve and leave to dry with the base.
