In progressInspirationI got the idea for my sgraffito piece from just the idea of flowers. I wanted to have a lot of flowers in my piece because I just think it represents sgraffito well. Flowers tell a good story so that is where my inspiration came from. I got my idea from making flowers abstract. I added the flowers and then just a lot of abstract elements to complete my design. ProcessThe process of my piece started with using clay to make a coil cup. I did the coils and smoothed them down to the cup. After I let it dry to leather hard and glazed it with the dark blue glaze. I then carved in my sgraffito design. Finished pieceProcessFor the process of my sgraffito piece I started by making a clay coil piece. After coiling it then smoothing it i let it dry to leather hard. I then glazed it and made my sgraffito design. Next my cup went into the kilm and was fired. After firing I put on clear glaze and it was fired again to finish. What did I think of the process?The sgraffito process was very straightforward and pretty easy. I liked that we glazed it and put the design on before firing it because I think it made the process a bit easier. It was kind of challenging to put the design in the cup but all around I didn’t have trouble with it. successes/changesI believe my piece was successful because I was able to create a nice piece that came out looking like it was supposed to. I really liked my design and the dark blue color i used. If I were to change it I would work on making my piece smoother. Coiling is a little challenging trying to make the piece smooth so I might try to make it on the wheel or work on my coiling.
