How to make a marble sublimation ceramic mug?
Marbling a mug with glazes involves layering and swirling different glaze colors on the ceramic surface to create a unique, marble-like pattern. Here’s how to do it:
You can watch the video on other website and check how to make a marble sublimation ceramic mug.
### Materials Needed:
– **Ceramic mug** (bisque-fired, unglazed)
– **Various glaze colors** (liquid form)
– **Brushes or squeeze bottles**
– **Water**
– **A container or shallow dish**
– **Stirring stick or toothpick**
### Steps:
1. **Prepare the Mug**: Make sure the mug is clean and free from dust. If necessary, wipe it down with a damp cloth.
2. **Prepare the Glazes**: Pour different colored glazes into separate small containers. You can dilute the glazes slightly with water if they are too thick, but they should still adhere well to the mug surface.
3. **Create the Marble Effect**:
– **Dip Method**: Fill a container with one base glaze (or water) and then drizzle or drip other glaze colors into the container. Lightly swirl the colors with a stick to create a marbled pattern.
– **Direct Application**: Alternatively, you can apply the base glaze to the mug first. Then, using a brush or squeeze bottle, add different colored glazes in random spots or streaks. Use a toothpick or brush to swirl the colors together gently.
4. **Apply the Glazes**: Dip the mug directly into the marbled glaze mixture (if using the dipping method) or apply the swirled glazes using a brush. Rotate the mug slowly to ensure even coverage.
5. **Smooth and Blend**: After applying the glazes, you can use a clean brush or sponge to smooth out any harsh lines or blend the colors further for a more natural marble effect.
6. **Dry and Fire**: Allow the glaze to dry completely. Once dry, fire the mug in a kiln according to the glaze manufacturer’s specifications.
7. **Optional Clear Glaze**: For extra shine and durability, you can apply a clear glaze over the marbled design before firing.
This technique can produce stunning, one-of-a-kind results with various color combinations and swirling patterns. Each piece will come out uniquely due to the fluid nature of glaze and firing.
7. **make the sublimation coating**After the finished mug is re-cleaned, then spray transparent coating and bake, check that there is no problem, and then pack.
