Instructions

Begin with properly fired shelf cone 04 bisque. Moisten a clean sponge and wipe bisque to remove any dust.

 

On a palette with a palette knife, mix SW-302 Rutile Wash with AC-310 Silkscreen Medium to the consistency of peanut butter.

 

Using the small chevron from DSS-0104 Chevron, align the screen, shiny side up. With a squeegee, rub the thickened SW-302 Rutile Wash through the screen. Repeat process until desired surfaces are covered.

 

Note: It will be necessary to rinse and dry the screen in-between usage. Refer to the Silkscreen Instructions for more information.

 

For the interior of the SB-106 Rimmed Bowl, screen in sections. Tape off a section, screen, and continue around the bowl. 

 

The SB-105 Rimmed Dinner Plate was taped off in 4 sections (pie sliced), screening in sections.

 

Once screenprint is dry, use CB-604 #4 Soft Fan, apply 3 coats of SW-125 Purple Mint to the screened areas. Be sure to change direction of the brush strokes as they will show. 

 

Using CB-604 #4 Soft Fan, apply 2 coats of SW-125 Purple Mint to all bare bisque areas, avoiding the feet/base of the pieces. 

 

Wipe away any excess
