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

3. Use the Soft Fan to apply three coats of FN-001 White to the white areas shown on each piece. 

4. Punch 1" circles from paper for the clock and triangles for the teapot. We will use the negative space for these shapes.  

5. Brush water over the space for the paper then press the paper into the wet glaze. Press gently with a paper towel to remove excess water and ensure the edges are sealed. The triangles should be placed tip to tip. You may need to trim the paper to ensure the best fit.
