Tropical Fern Planter

Instructions

The Tropical Fern Planter Earthenware Bisque is covered in embossed fern leaves. Paint in the leaves on this planter with your favorite glaze colours, or use the antiquing technique for a trendy weathered look. This planter has a drainage hole and comes with a plug as well. Perfect project if you have a short class time or running a studio group PYOP session. 

1. Wipe down the planter with a clean sponge.
   
2. Paint the outside surface of the planter, including the bottom surface, with 2-3 coats of Mayco Elements Foliage Green. Let your piece dry completely.
3. Using a liner or script brush, paint the fern leaves and stems with 2-3 coats of Mayco Elements Holiday Green. Let your piece dry completely.
4. Use a large square brush or fan brush to paint the inside of the planter with 2-3 coats of Mayco Elements Sahara Sands.
5. Pour a small amount of Sahara Sands onto your palette. Dip the bristles of a toothbrush or similar into the color. Angle your toothbrush towards the planter's surface, then run your finger or thumb along the bristles to splatter glaze on the planter.
6. Allow the project to dry completely, then fire to cone 06.
