Instructions
- Begin with properly fired cone 04 stoneware bisque. Moisten a sponge and wipe bisque to remove any dust.
- Using a fan brush, apply 2 coats of S-2701 Peacock Eyes around the top ¼ of the piece.
- Apply 3 coats of SW-184 Speckled Toad to the rest of the piece; overlapping the Peacock Eyes by about ½”.
- Use a damp sponge to wipe away any glaze that may have gotten on the foot.
- Fire to cone 5/6. Sample was fired to cone 6.
*This is a project that requires a degree of practical consideration when being used for dinnerware. If you are applying the project to a vessel in which the glaze can pool, the build up of glaze in those areas can potentially craze severely and in that instance would not be ideal for dinnerware use*
