• Fan Brush
• Sponge Dotter
• Flux Squeeze Bottle (or Liner Brush)
• Paint Palette/Dishes

Prep your piece

• Before you get started, be sure there's no dust on your piece. A dry or suuuper damp sponge can help get any excess dust you find off.
• Next, use a water-based marker to draw a line around the foot (bottom) of the piece - this is the do not paint line. Anything glazed below that line will stick to our kiln shelves and ruin your work (sad for everyone).
• Lastly, be sure to let your glazes dry fully between coats. Otherwise, we might end up with issues during firing such as pinholing or crawling.

Here's how tap a step when it's done

1. 1Create two rows of "w" shapes around the inner rim of the bowl using the flux bottle. The larger the swoop the more loose the flow will be; the smaller the swoop the tighter the flow. Note: one coat is plenty from the squeeze bottle; if using a liner brush, you'll want to achieve 3 coats.
2. 2Use the back of the sponge dotter and #2370 (Nutty 4 U) to create dots inside the "w" shaped swoops you've made. Note: Go for 3 coats of dots so we get full movement from the interaction between glazes.
3. 3Glaze the outside of your piece, up to the "do not paint" line, with 2 coats of Fool's Gold. Note: if you're a light handed painter, you might need to go for 3 coats.
4. 4Glaze the inside of your piece with 2 coats of Birch.Note: if you're a light handed painter, you might need to go for 3 coats.
5. 5Ask us how to sign your work then leave it with us for firing!
