My process:
I make this mug on the potters wheel and once the rim is dry enough to support itself, I turn it over and trim the bottom. Then while it is still very wet, I apply a light green slip to newsprint paper that is transferred on to the pot. After it comes out of the first firing, I apply a black wash for an antiquing appearance to the outside of the mug and a matte chartreuse glaze to the inside. Then I hand paint lady bugs and leaves the mug. Then mug goes back in the kiln the for its second and final firing. After it comes out of the glaze kiln, the outside of the mug is then wet sanded for a super smooth finish.
