Stoneware Gloss Bubble Dinnerware

Instructions

Begin with properly fired cone 04 stoneware bisque. Moisten a clean sponge and wipe bisque to remove any dust.
Using a fan brush, apply 2 heavy coats of SW-501 to the center of the piece, avoiding the rim.
If applying a sea creature, cut the plain shape from paper pattern to use as a resist. Place the paper onto your piece. Be sure to work out and wrinkles or air bubbles.
Allow to dry completely before applying bubbles. To apply bubbles, mix 1 parts of Stoneware Gloss glaze to 1 part water and 1 drop of dish soap. Place straw in liquid and blow into the straw to produce bubbles. Scoop the bubbles into the piece and be sure not to apply too many bubbles or they will pop and turn into a puddle. Try and cover the full area with as thin of a layer of bubbles as possible.
Remove the paper resist if you used one and use a script liner to apply 3 coats of Stoneware Gloss glaze to fill it in.
Use a damp sponge to wipe bubbles off of the rim and use a script liner to apply 3 coats of Stoneware Gloss glaze to the rim of the piece.
