My process:
I make this shallow bowl on the potters wheel throwing them off the hump. 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 stencil I created for the honeycomb pattern and then I brushed white slip on. Then, I painted the purple flowers and bees. After the bowl comes out of the first firing, I applied a shino glaze to the bottom side of the bowl and a clear glaze on top of the painted inside surface. Then the pot goes back in the kiln the for its second and final firing.
