Each ring dish is pinched out from a single ball of red clay. I then add a foot ring, let the work dry, and coat in a layer of white slip. When the white layer of slip is dry, I add the fields bright chartreuse or darker green. Once all these layers have semi dried, I go in with a ball point carving tool and define each set of leaves. This all happens before the first firing, the dishes are finished with a layer of clear glaze.
