Sgraffito (in Italian "to scratch") is a decorating pottery technique created by applying layers of under glazes, colored slips, or engobe to leather hard pottery and then scratching off parts of the layers to create contrasting images, patterns, and texture to reveal the clay color underneath. Below are some examples of the technique. Follow this link to learn more about Sgraffito .
