These miniature teapots are initially created with the use of a pottery wheel and hand built techniques. To achieve deep, jewel-like glazes, the airbrush is used to spray the base glazes and accent coats. Then multiple layers of low fired type glazes are brushed either all over or on the shoulders of the work. Then these pieces are fired in a kiln several hundred degrees higher than a normal firing. This "over fire", although EXTREMELY risky, creates the over melting of the low fire glazes flowing over the high fire glazes resulting in a jewel tone type glazes.
