Hi Valerie!
Jeff and Tony have covered the basics well. I would add that one
excellent tool for faceting tea bowls is called Hank's Wire tool. It's
basically a cheese cutter design made of spring steel with a very
high-quality stainless steel twisted cutoff wire that leaves an attractive
texture in the cut facet. It comes with several different size wires and
twists so you can make different textures. The tool is available through
Georgie's in Portland, OR.
Hank Murrow, who developed it, showed me that you can do some throwing
of the piece after faceting, and that can produce some nice alterations to
the piece.
Good faceting!

Could someone please explain to me how the faceting is done on tea bowls?

Hank's Wire tool sounds great.

Thanks,

Picked up a small faceting tool free from my dentist. A "y" shapped tool
that is supposed to provide easier flossing. About 2" across the two arms
with a small wheel that you wrap the dental floss around to provide tension.
