My sgraffito piece is a box; the four sides being a mouse, a fox eye, an open fox mouth, and claw marks. My piece was inspired by a comic drawn by Jessica Hayworth: I found the comic a few years ago and it's always stuck with me. I've always wanted to create something inspired by the art style and the story. I wanted my piece to focus on lots of small details.
I cut and rolled five slabs of clay on the slab roller. Then I scored and slipped the edges to fit the sides and base of the box together. I let the clay become leatherhard so that the box wouldn't collapse in. I added three layers of black underglaze. Once it dried, I began etching in the designs with a small loop tool and a needle tool.
