Create Design

Draw your design on a glazed tile with a permanent marker. This process is most successful with simple forms, so avoid excessive detail.

Glaze

Dip the eraser end of the pencil into the glaze and use it to make dots on the glazed surface. You do not need to fill the entire space.

Add More Color

Use applicator to apply an analogous color.

Enhance

Enhance your design by using a lighter or darker value of one of your colors. Teacher's Palette glazes can be mixed to achieve these results.

Repeat

Complete your other sections by repeating steps 2-4.

Fire

Fire to Cone 05 at medium speed. The marker lines will burn out in this step, leaving only the glaze dots.
