Whimsical Mushroom Teapot, Teacup, Saucer and Mushroom Spoon.
Every piece of this collection is handbuilt. I used stoneware clay. Once it has firmed the clay details and attached I set it aside to dry slowly. Once dry it is off to the kiln for it's first round of firing.
Once bisque fired, I hand paint it's design. Each one differs and is unique in it's character. Then I glaze over the the design and glaze the inside. Each ceramic piece takes multiple layers of glaze which I hand paint on each piece so that I have control over coverage and placement.
Then into the kiln for it's next firing. I wipe it down and give it a thorough inspection and ready for it's new home.
Mushrooms symbolize good luck, longevity, energy, transformation, and enlightenment.
