Sgraffito1/4/2019 Sgraffito inspiration and sketch(Talked to teacher explained why I don't have in progress) The way I got my idea was I really enjoy designs of flowers and drawing them so I instantly knew I wanted to do that as my design. I then looked up designs of flowers on sgraffito art pieces such as mugs, plates, and trays and saw all the different flower looks I could create. By looking at other art pieces had me decide to incorporate stems and leaves along with the flowers. The process I had was finding a tray that I liked that was plastic to use to create my mold. Once I found that I then put a large slab of clay into the mold and cut the leftover parts of the clay along the edges. I then let my piece become leather hard so that the clay could withhold the shape and could be taken out of mold. I then glazed my piece with the black topcoat with a few layers and once dry carved my design into the piece.

Once I found that I then put a large slab of clay into the mold and cut the leftover parts of the clay along the edges.

I then glazed my piece with the black topcoat with a few layers and once dry carved my design into the piece. I found the process of carving the design into the sgraffito piece very fun and reminded me of when I was in middle school and we would put ink of a rubber slab and carve designs into it. You would then dip the slab into ink and could be used as a stamp. I feel the shape and the look of the design to be successful and I really like how that turned out. Something I would change is maybe smooth by piece more on the bottom before being placed into mold to harden and also the carving of the design to be smoother.
