These handmade beads are also hollow and decorated in a technique called pate sur pate, meaning clay over clay.
The body of the bead is made of colored bisque. The decoration is made by creating a white slip and applying it with a fine-point brush.
Quite tedious.
They are fired using a bead rack holder in the kiln.
Another bead using the same technique but this time the addition of tiny white clay balls. Very tedious. I use dental tools to apply the little clay balls to the bead.
