Sgraffito Plate
To make the sgraffito plate you have to start by getting a square plate and then place flattened clay around it. Following that step, cut the clay to the perfect length to fit the plate. When your plate has been finished and is leather hard you can start with a layer of black paint. The goal is to cover the plate smoothly with no bare spots and no dusty areas. After painting the piece black, allow the plate to dry leather hard again. Next I carved my design into the plate by using a rubber tipped tool. After I finished with my carving I painted the edges yellow, waited for it to dry then waited for it to be glazed.
