My process:
I make this sake cup on the potter's wheel. After it has been trimmed and had some time to dry, I apply a red slip to the inside and outside of the cup This gives me a vibrant canvas to paint white cherry blossoms on.
Cup is finished with a clear glaze inside and out and fired in an electric oxidation kiln.
