Instructions

  1. Begin with properly fired cone 04 bisque. Moisten a sponge and wipe bisque to remove any dust.
  2. Use the pencil and ruler to create 4 equal sections on the plate.
  3. On the DSS-0121 Fruits screen, locate the lemon. Cut it out and lay it shiny side up. Take the dry erase marker and color over the lemon. Take the paper towel and wipe off the screen, leaving the marker only in the lines of the lemon.
  4. Pour around 1 TBS NT-BR Clear One Brushing onto the palette. Add a few drops of food coloring. Add a pinch of AC-310 Silkscreen Medium. Mix with a palette knife until it becomes the consistency of peanut butter. You may need to add more silkscreen medium or glaze.
  5. Place the screen in the center of one of the sections (shiny side down). While holding the screen firmly in place, take a small amount of premixed silkscreen medium, and gently rub in circles starting in the center and working outward. Clean screen. Repeat for all 4 sections of the plate.
  6. Using the Script Liner and Soft Fan with SC-6 Sunkissed, SC-11 Blue Yonder, SC-27 Sour Apple and SC-75 Orange-A-Peel apply 2 coats to the area around the lemon in each of the 4 sections. Allow glaze to dry between coats.
  7. Using the Script Liner with SC-6 Sunkissed, SC-11 Blue Yonder, SC-27 Sour Apple and SC-75 Orange-A-Peel apply 2 coats to each of the lemons. Allow glaze to dry between coats.
  8. Squeeze around 2 TBS of SC-15 Tuxedo onto the palette. Add a pinch of AC-310 Silkscreen Medium. Mix with a palette knife until it becomes the consistency of peanut butter. You may need to add more silkscreen medium or glaze.
  9. Repeat Step #5. You will be rescreening the same images in black. Make sure to position the screen so that it matches the previously screened lemons.
  10. Using the Soft Fan with SC-15 Tuxedo, apply 2 coats to the back and edges of the plate. Allow glaze to dry between coats.
  11. Using the Soft Fan with NT-BR Clear One Brushing, apply 1 coat to the front and back of the plate.
  12. Stilt and fire to cone 06.
