Community Sgraffito Collaboration (CSC) Project

Sgraffito - (Italian) - A decorative technique in which a layer of color is applied to a clay surface, then is incised and carved to create contrasting imagery

The Community Sgraffito Collaboration Project (aka CSC) is an ongoing interactive series of ceramic forms created collaboratively between Kris Erickson and the public. Each piece begins with a raw ceramic form that is painted with a contrasting liquid clay. The form is offered to the public for carving, then brought back to the studio and fired.
