Technique #3

Use a damp sponge to wipe all dust from your ceramic piece, especially the inside. This is an important step as a build-up of dust can cause your glaze to pull back, creating an unglazed spot on your piece.
Add one spoonful water to 4 oz. clear glaze, stirring well. Pour this glaze mixture inside your stein, rolling to coat entire inside. Pour glaze into jar and save for other uses. Turn piece upside down to drain excess. When dry, use a damp sponge to wipe all glaze from the outside of the stein.

Pour two teaspoons of Dark Delft onto your tile or palette and mix in the same amount of clean water. Mix well. Using a large glaze brush wash the color onto the detailed portion of your piece. (Center area and handle on the stein shown above) Cover all the detail portion, then use a damp sponge to wipe the color back so it is mainly in the grooves and the high spots are clear. (How much you wipe back is up to you. Some parts of the stein did have more delft color on them than others.) Allow piece to dry.

Cover all detail areas with three flowing coats of Hearthstone, allowing each coat to dry before applying the next. (Center area and handle on the stein shown above)

Now cover top rim and bottom of piece with three smooth, flowing coats of Dark Delft.
When dry, stilt and fire to cone 06.
