Sgraffito Clay Tile

This is my sgraffito clay tile. For this project, I had to create a tablet out of clay that with my name on it. I was allowed to create any shape I wanted to with whatever design I wanted to. I ended up being inspired by my inclusion design project, and kept the theme with puzzle pieces. I thought that I could have one puzzle piece for each letter of my name. I considered tying it into my concentration, but I could not think of a good way how. I like the way the puzzle pieces looked.

I scratched in my name with a striped design down each of the letters. Because I made the mistake of not rolling it out flat enough, the tablet cracked before it was fired. After it had been fired, glazed, and re-fired, I glued the pieces back together and painted over the crack with black acrylic paint.
