Todd Barrickulow inspired Sgraffito Assignment
*Sgraffitto simply means to “scratch through.” It is a method of decoration used in ceramics that dates back to the Greeks with their urns. These boxes are hand built out of a white clay body, then coated in a black clay body, and then carved like a wood block while still moist. When the black clay is coated in clear glaze it goes to jet-black, causing this graphic look.
