My Process:
I use the potter's wheel to create this sake cup. I generally make the cup one day and trim the bottom foot the next day. I then let it dry completely and then apply a red slip to the inside and paint the red plumflowers and a trailing vine on the outside. I have been painting this design since I returned to pottery about 12 years ago. It's been fun and interesting to see it evolve into its present rendition. A clear glaze finishes the cup, inside and out and is fired in an electric oxidation kiln.
