The sgraffito plate was fun to make. FIrst a choose an image to make for my plate. One I found that image I printed it out and traced it. I had to get a ball of clay smooth it out using the slab roller and then decide which shape I wanted to make. I choose a circle so I cut out a circle of clay. I then traced my image onto the plate. I painted over the traced piece with black paint using 3 coats. I waited for it to dry and then we put the sgraffito in the kiln. To make a successful sgraffito you need to make sure to paint and trace well and smooth out the clay so it is even.
Inspiration
I chose this image because I am a huge Florida gators fan. They are my favorite college team, and my cousin played football their. I loved making this design.
