Making process

Once I've thought of or designed an idea it's then time to begin to make. The making process I find to be relaxing but also testing, it test your ability to produces what you want and weather the final out come will be what you expect.

You can ever paint or glaze a pieces once fired this is the process of glazing. however if you glaze rather than paint it will need to be fired again.
Here is the process of me painting one of my ceramic pieces after the fire. once fired I tend to varnish them after to make them shinny as if it was glazed.
