Instructions
- Begin with properly fired shelf cone 04 bisque. Moisten a clean sponge and wipe bisque to remove any dust.
- With a pencil and AC-230 Clay Carbon Paper, trace on pattern or you can just sketch it on.
- Condition a CB-106 #6 Script Liner by: wetting the brush in water and squeeze out any excess water. Load the brush with AC-525 Brush Cleaner then squeeze between a paper towel.
- Apply 1 good coat of AC-302 Wax Resist to the foot of the plate to help keep the glaze off the foot of the plate.
- All the background and foreground colors are applied as washes, overlapping one another using a CB-604 #4 Soft Fan brush. All colors mixed with water.
- Refer to color placement from the pattern, background colors are SC-11 Blue Yonder, SC-31 The Blues, SC-29 Blue Grass, SC-7 Leapin’ Lizard, SC-9 Jaded and SC-16 Cotton Tail.
- Foreground is SC-7 Leapin’ Lizard and SC-11 Blue Yonder.
- Use SC-6 Sunkissed in the foreground in splotches, without thinning the color; drop SC-7 Leapin’ Lizard into the wet Sunkissed glaze, allowing for the colors to bleed.
- Spatter SC-29 Blue Grass into the foreground.
- Apply SG-401 Designer Liner with CB-110 #10/0 Liner to the black lines and the black in the birds. The yellow in the birds is 2 coats of SC-6 Sunkissed.
- Using a CB-604 #4 Soft Fan, apply 2 coats of SW-001 Stoneware Clear to the top of the plate, and 3 coats of SW-252 Blue Opal to the back of the plate, touch the SW-252 Blue Opal to the front edge of the plate, overlapping the SW-001 Stoneware Clear. Do not apply any glaze to the bottom and foot of the plate.
- With a damp sponge, clean off any glaze from the back and the foot of the plate. Stoneware needs be dry footed when fired. Do not use stilts when firing Stoneware.
- Fire on a kiln washed shelf to shelf cone 6.
