Rubbing Alcohol Technique |
 |
|
|
Technique Description: Have fun with science! Create circular patterns in layered glazes with drops of rubbing alcohol. Choose glazes in similar colors for subtle patterns, or create big impact with dramatically different glazes (Red and Black is a fabulous combination!). |

|
| Step 1: Base coat |
| Base coat the piece (we used Mediterranean Olive Courtyard Art Glaze for this example). |
|
 |
|
|
| Step 2: Mask |
| To create an even pattern, mask off square sections on the top of the piece, using 1/4 inch masking tape to create grids. Make sure paint is completely dry before taping or the tape won't stick. |
|
 |
|
|
| Step 3: Mix wash |
| Mix the second glaze color with water to a thin wash consistency (we used Celadon Envision Glaze). |
|
 |
|
|
| Step 4: Apply glaze wash |
| Work within one row of squares at a time. Apply 1 coat of the thinned glaze along each row. |
|
 |
|
|
| Step 5: Drop alcohol |
| After glazing small portion with wash, immediately add a drop of rubbing alcohol in each square with a Liner brush. The rubbing alcohol drop repels the top layer of glaze and creates a circular outline. Let piece dry, then gently peel off all tape. |
