Faux Stained Glass – Underglazes:
Materials needed: Duncan Contempo mug Pinstriping tape: half-inch, quarter-inch, one eighth-inch Sponge No. 6 Round Sable Brush Concepts: CN 012 Bright Straw CN 372 Bright Honeysuckle CN 272 Bright Grape CN 352 Bright Sapphire CN 183 Bright Kiwi CN 253 Black Cover Coat: CC 118 Cobalt Crystal Black
(see note below) 1. Roll black Concepts inside the mug 2. Apply one coat of Cover Coat CC 118 black to the outside of the mug 3. When whitish coating appears, lightly polish using a dry sponge Pinstriping: Refer to photo top right of page for example 1. Apply one-quarter inch tape around top and bottom edges of the mug 2. Use three different sizes of tape to create geometric patterns 3. When patterning is complete, use fingers to ensure good adhesion of all tapes, paying closest attention to the edges Painting: 1. Apply 3 coats of a different colour of Concepts to each section of the design, allowing to dry fully between coats 2. Remove tape while third coat is still damp. If it becomes dry, paint can flake off. Should it dry too much, you can spritz it with a light spray of water….NOT too much 3. When completely dry sponge outside with clear glaze, overlapping inside a little to ensure full glaze coverage; finish with brushed coat of clear glaze on outside and fire to cone 06. NOTE: if you prefer a white background and/or inside of mug these preparation steps can be ignored according to your choice.
