Start with the item you'd like to paint on -- platter, plate, mug -- this technique can be used on anything! Brush off any dust with our handy orange sponges and then visit our design center computer to find the image you'd like to use. Once you find your image, size it how you'd like to in our Word program, and print if onto our special NCR paper.
Cut around the shape and leave some white space showing. Trace the outline of the image with a pencil -- the pencil line will show behind the paper and be transferred onto the piece.
Next, paint black (#31) onto the back and the rim. If you use one of our fan brushes, you're more likely to get the even coat you're looking for.
Using a writer bottle, fill in the black silhouettes of the flying geese and dry brush Copper Aventurine onto the rim. Copper Aventurine is one of our elements and sells for $3.00 per ounce. Lightly brush the copper onto the back black as well. Finish with a brushing of another element, Sandstorm ($3) over the top.
That's it! Leave your piece with us and we'll put it through our kiln process, and you'll be able to take home or gift a truly lovely piece.
