Clay Form
The Octopus
13x10x4
Clay, underglaze, clear glaze
The main idea of this sculpture was to create a clay form with sgraffito that was related to the clay creature.
The materials I used for this piece were clay for the form, underglaze to create the designs, and clear glaze.
The processes I used were experimentation and revision. I experimented with different designs and tools to see what looked best in relation to octopuses and the ocean. I also revised my octopus to only have four tentacles to reduce the likelihood of my piece breaking.
