E-Z Stroke Textured Plates

Instructions

Damp sponge the surface to remove any dust.
Use the CB618 #8 Soft Fan to apply two coats of Marshmallow White the front of the plate and three coats to the back.
Once the second coat on the front is dry, apply a third coat and immediately press the cheesecloth or doily into the wet glaze and allow to dry so the shiny look is gone. It’s best to complete the next steps while the color is still a little damp. Allowing it to dry completely or allowing to sit for days can cause issues or shipping of color when you try to remove the cheesecloth or doily.
Place a little bit of each E-Z Stroke color out on your palette. Dampen the sea wool sponge to soften. Dip a small bumpy area of sponge into one color, blot out a little bit on the palette, and then randomly sponge over areas of the plate. Immediately, dip the same sponge (without washing out) into the next color, and dab in other areas. Continue to do the same with each of the other colors until the plate is covered with color on the front side. Dab the colors so they blend together a little but where they meet.
Remove the cheesecloth or doily once the shiny wet look has gone away with the color. Do it while the color is still damp to avoid chipping color.
Use the round sponge to pick up some E-Z Cobalt black, blot on palette, and lightly dab on the edges of the plate.
Stilt and fire to cone 06. The plate should fire out with a soft sheen of the matte glaze. A glossier finish can appear with hotter firings.
