Instructions

  1. Begin with properly fired cone 04 stoneware bisque. Moisten a clean sponge and wipe bisque to remove any dust.
  2. If desired, transfer design using AC-230 Clay Carbon Paper. Use a firm hand with a pen (not as soft as a pencil) and keep in mind the paper only transfers on one side!
  3. Apply Designer Liner using the detail tip or brush. Only 1 coat is needed for line work using a brush or detail tip and 2 coats for filling in areas.
  4. Apply 2 coats of SW-004 Zinc Free Clear to the bottle, avoiding the bottom. Zinc Free Clear was chosen here to preserve the pigments in SG-405 Green.Use a damp sponge to wipe away any glaze that may have gotten on the foot. 
  5. Fire to cone 5/6. Samples were fired to cone 6.
