Scrafito

• In an upcoming assignment we will be making hard slab boxes.

• These boxes will be decorated with a technique called scrafito.

• In this technique we paint engobe (a colored clay slip) over the clay and then scratching through to the white clay.

• Our engobe colors are black, blue, reddish brown, green and yellow

Homework

• Your homework assignment is to design the pattern you plan to scratch into your box.

• The design will cover all four sides of the box and the lid.

• The sides of the box will be 6 inches wide by eight inches tall. The lid will be six inches square.

• I will have a template for you at school but if you forget you can make your own at home with these measurements.
