Bright Mottled Vases

Designer: Elizabeth Carey

Instructions

Teal Vase:

  1. Begin with properly fired cone 04 bisque. Moisten a sponge and wipe bisque to remove any dust.
  2. Pour White Roll-A-Coat into the 2oz disposable cup. Pour into the vase and rotate until the inside is covered. Pour out the excess into the disposable cup. Discard. If you would like to tint the White Roll-A-Coat, see tinting directions below.
  3. Using the sponge with EL-101 Oyster Shell, apply 2 coats to the outside of the vase. Allow glaze to dry between coats. This will be the only glaze on the bottom.
  4. Pour around 1 TBS of CG-1008 Blue Guppy, EL-101 Oyster Shell, PC-601 Clear Cascade, PC-602 White Cascade, SC-10 Teal Next Time, and SC-96 Aqu-ward onto the palette.
  5. Dip the sponge into PC-602 White Cascade. Randomly sponge the vase until around ¼ of the vase is covered. The glaze should be thick, but not dripping.
  6. Dip the same sponge into CG-1008 Blue Guppy. Randomly sponge the vase until around ½ of the vase is covered. The glaze should be thick, but not dripping. Make sure to sponge over some of the glaze from Step #5.
