My process:
I use the potter's wheel to create this mug. I generally make the mug one day and then trim the bottom foot the next day and attach a handle. I let it dry completely and then paint blue plumflowers and a trailing vine on it. I have been painting this design since I returned to pottery more than 12 years ago. It's been fun and interesting to see it evolve into its present rendition. This version has a light green vine and smaller flower buds. A clear glaze finishes the mug on the outside and a coordinating blue glaze is on the inside. Fired in an electric oxidation kiln.
