Sgraffito is a term used to describe handcarving pattern or images into soft clay. I have named my new range after this technique and love working with the clay like this. The pot is made using 1.6 kilograms of stoneware clay and takes over 3 weeks to make. I throw the pot on my small potter's wheel and leave it to dry out slightly. When strong enough to handle, I trim the base and band rich colours onto the outside of the bowl with an extra wide brush. Next I etch  the pattern into the rim of the bowl with a potter's knife. A week left to dry in a hot studio and then it goes into the kiln for the first firing, called the biscuit firing. Glazing comes next using a transparent stoneware glaze and then it's back into the kiln for it's final firing at a temperature of 1200 degrees celsius.
The result is a unique, handcrafted bowl with a timeless design, to enjoy and use in your home for many years.
​12 cms high by 23 cms wide approx.
This pot is dishwasher and microwave proof but as with all handmade pottery I recommend hand washing - it's very special after all!!
