STEP 1 : Prepare the Wooden Tray
- Take the wooden tray and paint it with a base coat of Acrylic Colour Black 02. Allow it to dry.
STEP 2 : Prepare the dough
- Take equal parts of Mouldit resin base and hardener, and thoroughly mix them until you achieve a smooth, uniform consistency.
- Roll out the dough to create a slab using a rolling pin.
- Cut the slab to measure 5” x 5”.
- Use clay carving/modelling tools to engrave a design inspired by Talavera tiles onto the slab. Let it dry.
STEP 3 : Paint the design
- Apply a light, watery wash of Acrylic Colour Black 02 to the slab. Wipe the excess wash off with a rough rag.
- Paint the design using Fevicryl Acrylic Colours Black 02, Crimson 04, Golden Yellow 09, Light Green 12, Orange 17, White 27, and Cerulean Blue 32.
- Allow it to dry.
