The sculpting of a roulette is done in reverse: all surfaces meant to protrude must be carved deep into the clay, and the left and right sides of the image must be flipped - a mental puzzle I thoroughly enjoy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter the roulette has been fired in the kiln, I slowly press the moist porcelain of a freshly thrown pot into the textures of the roulette, revealing the design. Once the pot has been fired, I brush a brown stain over the textures, wipe the stain from the surface to highlight the details, and for some patterns I hand-paint the images with multiple colors.\u003cbr\u003eAs soon as the painting is complete, I apply several layers of food-safe glazes. The pot goes into the kiln for a final firing and is at last ready to be enjoyed.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Jen Stein","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43349477097566,"sku":"210000103770","price":184.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0102\/0122\/files\/Screenshot2026-09-17at2.40.06PM.png?v=1789670441","url":"https:\/\/www.leftbankgallery.com\/products\/vase-honeybees-blue-plain","provider":"Left Bank Gallery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
