Mushroom Batik Tile

Designer: Bailie Benson

Instructions

  1. Begin with properly fired cone 04 bisque. Moisten a sponge and wipe bisque to remove any dust.
  2. Using the Soft Fan with FN009 Black, apply 2 coats to the tile. Allow glaze to dry between coats.
  3. Once the tile has lost its shine, place the pattern over the top.
  4. Very lightly trace the pattern with a pencil and remove from the tile.
  5. Using the Detail Liner with AC302 Wax Resist, apply 1 coat over the lines.
  6. Replace the glaze caps with AC224 Plastic Detailer Caps.
  7. Fill in each section with a single layer of color. SC100 for the gills, SC102 for the stem, SC101 for the dots and ground, SC103 for the main cap, SC104 for the background
  8. As soon as all sections are filled in, use a hair dryer to force dry the skin of the glaze. Make sure not to put the hair dryer too close while it is wet, or it will move the glaze. Dry until you see cracking in the skin.
  9. Stilt and fire to cone 06.
