Decoration Techniques for Ceramics: Sgraffito and Underglaze

Decorative Storytelling on Ceramics with Engraving and Paint

“During the lessons I taught you all the secrets to create perfect tiles, now it's your turn! Follow these basic steps to complete your project. Don't just copy my example, but experiment and invent something new. First, choose the design to make. Then, depending on the style you want to achieve, choose the suitable technique. Then work on a tile, raw or biscuit, depending on the technique.

At this point, choose the colors to use. Create a trace of the pencil drawing. Then, make the illustration with the brushes or the engraving tool, depending on the medium. Now share your tile on the forum! Show everyone both the final result and the processing steps, documenting each step with an image and describing what you did with a brief explanation.

Thanks again for making this journey with me!”
