Second foray into sgraffito-ing a jug that my wife kindly threw for me. She’s a big fan of chickens, so I did this one for her. #sgraffito #pottery #ceramics #chickens

Just finished scratching the decoration into this plate. Next phase is drying, then firing and glazing. I was inspired by my girlfriends' fascination for #beavers.

A little bit of colour overlaying and mark-making with wax cray- ahem, oil pastels. Good fun!

A very colourful drawing of a chameleon on a tree branch surrounded by stylised ornamental leaves. The chameleon is orange-red with vertical teal stripes and orange/green striped limbs, and it is covered in free-style sgraffito markings. The leaves are different shades of blues, purples, and reds overlaid with different green tones.

Prepping for first bisque firing and then first glaze firing. Looking at colors and how well they contrast with the white or red clay. Went with botanical patterns. #pottery #potterywheel #sgraffito #sgraffitopottery

Five thrown cups with incised decoration. Two abstract seventies-ish flowers and leaves (green and yellow), one with a limb and little leaves and flowers (lilac background), one with vetch leaves repeated (violet background), one with sticklike lines (light blue background). All on a table with black and orange cloth, and a few bowls behind the cups.

Photo of a large capital N letter cut out of a clay slab, and decorated using the sgraffito method, before glazing with an iron glaze to give us a lovely warm finish.
