[Set of 3 plates - silkscreen test 1]

Rae - there are 6 screens at this point. Plan to do a random 7th screen with "flying" additions. I want to add random things like a group of butterflies, dragonflies, or a bird to a random place on each piece. The background is actually a combination of 3 slips sponged on.

Nerd - thank you again, answered more in the forum

 

Rae - thank you Rae, it's actually quite light, the ceramic beads are really thin, thinner than a lot of the other beads and that was one of the challenges of doing this figuring out how thin I could go and get a hole through without cracking the little bead.

Thank you

Thank you everyone. I had a very simplistic schematic so I kind of had an idea where to look for stuff. The scariest thing was just doing it, standing there with a screwdriver in my hand and the control box glaring back at me was really the hardest part.

 

Once I got started it was a lot like repairing a computer actually and I've done that loads so the nerves went away. I thought posting this might come in handy for another new potter out there just looking for some basic info on the procedure. Figured I might as well make it fun if I was going to do that.

 

I test fired it and it was firing about 15 degrees too warm so I did a TC Offset for that. Fired it again and it looks good to go! Who hoo!
