I use a Korean technique called mishima to create images on my pieces. Each image is hand drawn onto the surface of the clay with a needle tool. After I am finished with the drawing, I will cover the piece with black slip. Once the slip is dry, I carefully wipe away the excess slip leaving behind the drawn image.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMy hope is that I create work that brings beauty and delight into everyday function and experiences.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHope\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hope + Mary","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47925320745044,"sku":"ilf1792645107337","price":78.54,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0691\/8022\/7668\/files\/hope-mary-gold-bee-dessert-plate_1.jpg?v=1792645113","url":"https:\/\/save-for-later-fit.shop\/products\/hope-mary-gold-bee-dessert-plate","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
