One of my favorite techniques is sgraffito etching through underglaze to the clay body beneath.
Easy sgraffito ceramics.
Sgraffito is defined as decoration by cutting away parts of a surface layer to expose a different colored ground it has been seeing a bit of a welcome renaissance recently and is a currently popular and relatively easy technique to use in your work.
The whole process of molding the clay into a beautiful shape is pretty cool.
A freshly made form ready to decorate etch and carve is an invitation to play.
Fortunately some of the most used tools in the box are quick and easy to assemble right in your own studio.
But what is more amazing is giving this molded clay the end look which is simply breathtaking.

Like most techniques in pottery there are several ways of approaching sgraffito.
Clay is rough on tools especially trimming and sgraffito tools.
Pottery is an art that leaves everyone in awe.
While there are many decorating techniques in pottery sgraffito is one of the most popular ones.
Whether you want to play with colors or want to do some carving these.
However it can be extremely satisfying and lovely to look at.
