130 Red Poppy Bowls

This week we are knee deep in Red Poppy Bowls!  We are happily working on an order for 130 of our small handle bowls.  First we start with the bisque and give it 2 coats of black underglaze. Then with a pencil we draw on the design.  Next we paint on the green and red glaze - 2 coats each.  After we add the clear glaze (shown in the second set of photos), we kiln fire the bowls for the final product.  Here is a progression photo...

Below, in the first photo, is a good grouping of the bowls in various stages of underglazing.  The second shows the bowls coated in clear glaze.  Some are fully coated others are waiting to get their second half coated.  After they are fully covered with clear glaze, they get stacked into the kiln and fired
