Sgraffito Tile

For this project I created a clay slab with the simplistic carving of a shark jumping out of the water. I created the slab by pressing out a large disk by hand, then using a needle to cut out the recangular shape with a piece of paper as a template. I then underglazed the whole slab blue after a bisque fire, before carving out a thin layer of glaze and clay to make the design. Finally, I put a coat of clear glaze on before the final firing.
