Instructions

  1. Begin with soft fired stoneware bisque. 
  2. Moisten a clean sponge and wipe bisque to remove debris.
  3. Apply 2 coats of SC075 Orange-A-Peel to the top 1/3 and inside of mug.
  4. Using a palette knife, mix SG401 Black Designer Liner with AC310 Silkscreen Medium until it becomes the consistency of peanut butter. You may need to add more silkscreen medium or Designer Liner.
  5. Place the skull design from the DSS0114 Creepy (Dark Elements) Designer Silkscreen around the mug, shiny side down. While holding the screen firmly in the center, take the squeegee and scoop out the premixed silkscreen medium. Firmly run the squeegee across the center of the skull design spreading the medium. Repeat the skull design around the mug.
  6. Apply 3 coats of SW251 White Opal on entire mug.
  7. Fire to cone 6.
