To make this tray I rolled out stoneware clay into a silicon leave mould which I made from a Hosta leaf. With more clay, I sculpted these birds and attached them to the leaf. When it was bone-dry, I fired it in my electric kiln to bisque ware to about 2300 degrees for several hours.

I glazed the leaf in a rusty red glaze and handpainted the birds in brown-red and yellow then put a clear glaze on the birds. I then fired it again to about 2900 degrees with many other pieces.
