Instructions

  1. Begin with properly fired shelf cone 04 bisque. Moisten a clean sponge and wipe bisque to remove any dust.
  2. Place the clay carbon paper over the front of the canvas. Place fish the pattern on top. Trace over the fish pattern with a pencil. Remove the pattern and clay carbon paper. You should be able to see the fish pattern on the front of the canvas.
  3. Use FD254 Black Licorice to trace over each fish on the canvas. Allow glaze to dry.
  4. Using the Script Liner with CG1011 Frozen Berries, CG1012 Haystack, CG1013 Papaya, CG1014 Pink Plum, CG1015 Cloverfield, and CG1016 Asteroid, apply 2 coats to each fish. Allow glaze to dry between coats. Try to space the colors out over the canvas.
  5. Using the Script Liner with CG1010 Periwinkle Sky, apply 3 coats to the background. Allow glaze to dry between coats.
  6. Using the Script Liner with SC15 Tuxedo, apply 3 coats to the tail of each fish and the edges of the canvas. Allow glaze to dry between coats.
  7. Use FD254 Black Licorice to make an eye on each fish.
  8. Stilt and fire to cone 06.

Tips:

  • Don’t worry if you get some glaze on the FD254 Black Licorice. The black overpowers most other glazes and will turn out black after firing.
