Ceramics I Sgraffito Carving the Pinch Cups

I remade this video because of a camera issue! I no longer use the school camera which can lose focus! Here is the link to the new one! Sgraffito Carving an Underglazed Pinch Cup A Ceramics I Exercise    • Sgraffito Carving an Underglazed Pinc...  

This is for my Ceramics I students, showing the process and tools to create their sgraffito carving on their earthenware pinch cups. The design is entirely up to my students, I just show my geometric type designs I love to do!

The clay is Standard 103 Grogless Earthenware, and the underglaze is Amaco Velvet Jet or Velour black. (I forget) I apologize for the periodic focus problem... I am filming these by myself after long days of teaching, and am limited by my equipment!

I am a high school ceramics teacher and potter. I have been working in clay for over 30 years, and I have been teaching for over 28 years, the past 20 have been specifically teaching high school ceramics. I love what I do! I have my own studio in my home basement, where I work on my personal pottery for my Etsy site; https://www.etsy.com/shop/KaransPotsA...

I started my Youtube channel a few years ago, to make videos to help my students if they are absent and miss a demo, or if they would like to explore more advanced techniques independently. I have been amazed to reach such a wider audience than my own students!
