My process:
I use the potter's wheel to create this tea bowl. I generally make the tea bowl one day and then trim the bottom foot the next day. 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 tea bowl on the outside and a coordinating blue glaze is on the inside. Fired in an electric oxidation kiln.
