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. 1Using a washable marker, draw two horizontal lines around the outside of your piece roughly an inch apart. Then, using a ruler or your finger, draw evenly spaced vertical lines to connect them. This will create a row of even squares.
2. 2On a scrap piece of paper, draw four floral designs; you'll repeat them across the squares with a washable marker.
3. 3Use a small round brush to paint 3 coats over the drawings created in Step Two. Repeat the colors 2361, 2368, and 2377 in each design.
4. 4Use a writer bottle with 2340 to create squiggle lines over the lines drawn in Step One. Do not fully connect the lines.
5. 5Add dots of 2361 and 2368 where the lines from Step Four meet; alternate the colors for each row.
6. 6Paint 3 coats of 2340 around the rim with a round brush.
7. 7Use a fan brush to paint 3 coats of Clear on the inside and outside of your piece. Avoid the bottom of the outside.
8. 8Ask us how to sign your work, then leave it with us for firing!
