Technique #11 ~

You will need an appropriate cone 04 bisque pumpkin (we used Duncan's Pumpkin Bowl DM392) and the following Duncan products:


EZ024 Royal Blue Green - EZ Strokes underglaze
CN022 Bright Saffron - Concepts underglaze for bisque
CN042 Bright Papaya - Concepts underglaze for bisque
CN282 Bright Brown - Concepts underglaze for bisque
SN351 Clear - Satin Glaze
Soft fan brush

Technique #11
Duncan Technique #11

Use a damp sponge to wipe inside and outside of pumpkin and lid, removing any clay dust that was left inside. Thin and roll Bright Saffron inside pumpkin and lid. Use a damp sponge to wipe off any excess on outside of pumpkin.
Thin Royal Blue Green with water. Using fan brush coat entire pumpkin, then wipe back the color with a damp sponge, cleaning the sponge often in fresh water.

Using a fan brush, apply 2 coats of Bright Papaya to outside of pumpkin and lid, and 2 coats of Bright Brown to stem. Allow color to dry between coats.

Apply 2 coats satin glaze over entire pumpkin and lid. When dry, use a damp sponge to remove glaze from bottom edge of pumpkin lid so lid can be dry-footed during firing. Stilt pumpkin bottom and fire both pieces to cone 06.
