Off the Wheel Pottery

Sgraffito Pottery:

The following work is formed by hand, on the potters wheel or by sculpting, using porcelain or stoneware.  The clay body has a very smooth texture, which is ideal, as it acts like a canvas for surface decoration.  The pots are painted with under glazes and slips, then carved using the sgraffito method, an ancient and time consuming technique of scratching a design through the surface.  After the decoration is complete, the pots are bisque fired, glazed and fired again.   All of the pots are meant to be used and bring joy to everyday life.  They are food, microwave and oven safe.
