sgraffito

idea design

9" x 12"

construction paper, white gel pen

Sgraffito slab


Black underglaze on fired clay

The main idea for this project was to create a clay slab representing the idea that I drew. It had to be 50/50 black and white. I chose to do a jellyfish with some plants and bubbles around it. 

The materials I used were regular black paper with white gel pen and a clay slab.

The process of this was difficult for me. It took me a long time to make up an idea to transfer onto my clay slab. I went with a jellyfish because I find them fun to draw and work with. I started by making the jellyfish and adding plants and more fish and bubbles around it. I had fun with the project and I ended it by putting a clear glaze over it and having it be fired.
