This glaze bubbled quite a bit in the firing but I love how it turned out. It’s dark and I believe that the bubbles actually add to the piece, more texture and it takes the focus off of the sgraffito at first

My beautiful cow skull sgraffito with panama red in reduction firing

The skeleton hand vase after reduction firing

Cute little mushroom dish I made on the wheel and glazed in reduction. White underglaze, Apple, and yellow over top (white spots)

Panorama of the fish skeleton vase I made! Slab work of course with black underglaze then bisque fired. More glaze added around the sgraffito work and fired in reduction to create this result

Little pot i made with finished glaze, aw blue with cinnamon over top and stellar rust glaze

Before and after underglaze to scratch out, ended up drawing out a jawbone from a picture of a human skull on this piece, which I plan to use for my lipsticks. I’m going to try to execute a vision for this piece using negative space in the glaze to show where lips would be on the bone.

A skull my good friend gave to me came in handy for this sgraffito piece, front and back views of the skull on the front and back of the vessel, also going into the kiln for bisque firing

One of three ashtrays I assembled in class yesterday! Going into the kiln for bisque firing and then hopefully the second round of reduction firing next week. I used a jaw bone that I found a few years ago as a model for this simple sgraffito

An ashtray with sgraffito ready for bisque fire! Snake skeleton scratched into some underglaze on light gray clay.

The first of my series to come out of the kiln! One of the only pieces that will be fired in oxidation, which is the reason for it being the first. The rest will come out of the same firing in reduction. I used glazes that I mixed myself from scratch, the light blue on the inside being Britt crawl. The texture that came from it is awesome and adds a decent contrast from the dark outer layer. I used black underglaze on this piece and scratched in two bird skulls sgraffito style. Once it was bisque tired I put some wax over the skulls and bottom of the pot and then the glaze I put over was another that I mixed. The base glaze was nuclear which allowed the color to show through very well over the gray clay.
