These pots are thrown on a wheel using either porcelain or stoneware clay. They are then biscuit fired before glazing.  I mask out certain areas and then dip them into a transparent glaze, the masking tape is then removed and using brush on glazes I add different colours to the masked areas.  The pots are then fired again to a high firing (1250 degrees cent.)  At this point the ceramic transfers are applied and they have a third firing.  Finally the lustres are applied and the fourth and final firing is done.
