Monoprint/Sgraffito Bottles

These bottles were made during my exploration of ceramic surface decoration in my "printing on clay" class. The bottles were made from darted slabs for the body and coils for the neck. I hand-painted these designs of mine onto newsprint then transferred them onto the bottles and carved some details.
