STEPS NEEDED TO PREPARE FOR CLASS:
- Watch the pre-recorded videos.
Consider your design first.
- Look at your shapes and think about simple designs that will fit within the surface area.
- Create your designs using simple shapes like leaves, the moon, etc. Can’t draw? Take photos of simple shapes you want to use for designs and lay a piece of tracing paper over the top to trace the silhouette of the shape.
- Decide what underglaze color you want your background to be.
Underglaze Painting
- Gently wipe down your bone dry jewelry pieces with a sponge to remove any dirt, dust or rough areas on the front and back.
- After letting your pieces dry thoroughly, apply your first layer of underglaze with a brush.
- After letting your pieces dry thoroughly, apply your second layer of underglaze with a brush.
- After letting your pieces dry thoroughly, apply your third layer of underglaze with a brush.
- After letting your pieces dry thoroughly, apply your blend layer using 2 underglaze colors with a couple brushes.
- Let your pieces dry at least 24 hours before class.
Finalize your designs
- Create a sheet with your designs on them.
- Cut your tracing paper into small sections and using a sharp pencil, place your tracing paper over your design and trace it.
Once you’ve completed these steps, you will be ready for class!
*The week prior to class, I’ll send an invite for a Zoom chat to see if anyone has any questions or needs design help.*
