My process is simple.  I wake up, get coffee, think about the day and mostly pottery.  What will I make, how will I make it, what design will I do, what chores are there needing minding. I then go to my studio out my back door to make something happen. Usually, I grab a lump of clay and begin wedging, thinking about what I am creating.  I mold it on the wheel into what it wants to be, not always what I want it to be!  Once I have it formed, I either start the decorating or fire it the first time for bisque.  I then intensely begin the glazing and decorating.  I love this part, but it can take hours as some of my designs are intricate.  Each piece is my baby so I take extra time thinking about each design, colors to use and even how the clay will look with this design.  I then high fire it at cone 5 or 6.   Sometimes I do another round of surface decoration with lusters - mother of pearl or 24ct gold - and then fire one or two times more.  Even though each piece takes a lot of time, it is always a labor of love.  My hope is you will also enjoy (and use!) each piece as much as I enjoy making it!
