John Webbers is known for functional wheel-thrown porcelain pottery. Webber uses the decorative technique of mishima, the process of etching thin lines into the piece to create a pattern and brushing slip or metallic oxide over the surface to fill the encised crevaces. After drying, the excess slip is wiped away, leaving only the incised line decorated surface. Webber fires his work in oxidation or salt fires it.
Webber is known to alter a freshly thrown porcelain form by either squeezing it or using a tool to flatten one side of the vessel for decoration.[1]
