First I added some white slip over a dark clay and let it firm up
I set a circular cookie cutter against the inner rim and traced the curve to the center of the plate. then I moved the circle to the side a little bit and traced the next lineĀ
once all the lines were traced in both directions I scratched away the white slip sgraffito style. keep the glaze thin and you'll see the difference in clay bodies with a majority of glaze, doesn't have to be transparentĀ
A great collection of art. Gorgeous
Love the one with the Halloween face!
What a cool range of work. How'd you do the spiral design on the first piece?

Thanks for the description. It's beautiful and subtle surface design.
