Sgraffito Tile

The assignment for this project was to make a sgraffito tile degisn and glaze it. I chose to make a simple floral design because I knew i had to make it simple, as the clay can be hard to sgraffito when it is too detailed.

To make this project, I used a slab of clay and rolled it out and cute it to the shape I wanted. After I did this, I waited for the clay to be slightly dry and used a green glaxe to make a base for my carving. After this was dry, I used a carving tool to carve the designs I wanted. As I did this, it would reveal below the glaze to make it different colors. I fired this and added a clear glaze, gthen fired it again to make it complete.

I didnt enjoy making this project because I find it uninteresting to carve onto clay. I am not a big fan of sgraffito in general, even though this project was easy.
