Ceramic Sgraffito Bowl / Plate. Tinky Winky.


Ceramic Sgraffito Bowl / Plate.Tinky Winky.


This is a Sgraffito bowl using white clay and red slip. I thought I would keep to the theme of Tinky Winky as I have with my other pieces. I used manganese oxide and transparent glaze to give a slight purple effect. For the text I looked at different fonts on word to find the one I liked most. I think my bowl/plate came out good, the only problem is that over the drying and firing period my bowl began to crack and has split in the last firing. I am not unhappy with this because I think the quality of the bowl overpowers the look of the split.
