Sgraffito Tile

Artist Statement

The first thing we did for this project was sketch out a design. I just wanted to do something fun for this project, so I just put random doodles down. Next, we picked a color and glazed our tiles. When the glaze dried we started carving. When we finished our tiles were fired in the kiln For this project I used glaze, a brush, clay, and a scratch tool. I used lines to create patterns. And I used value to make some things stick out. I ended up using the wrong carving tool so some of my lines came out too thin, and I missed some blue spaces that were supposed to be carved out. I ended up giving this piece to a friend, and she liked it, so something good came out of this mess.
