Sgraffito Tray

To make these trays, we took a slab of clay and put it inside of a styrofoam mold. We then painted the slabs with black underglaze and carved designs into them. After that, we dipped them in clear glaze (after putting wax on the underside). I found nothing successful about my piece, except maybe that I liked the idea of glass in the tray. Next time, I would come up with an initial sketch, and then a backup that I can use in case the first one I tried doesn't work. I learned that I really need to use more precise tools when carving and doing sgraffito, because the bigger the tool the less detail you can get. 

Here's a beautiful sketch of my tray.
