Explain your processI sculpted the otter's body and then added the legs and tail. After he was fully sculpted, I glazed him and scratched away the parts that I wanted to be white. After that, I sculpted the shell and glazed it as well, scraping away a different texture. Once they were designed, I did a final clear glaze over them and then my boy was done. What did you think of the sgraffito process?I think it isn't as annoying as other people say it is. Yeah, it takes time and multiple glazes, but regular clay pieces do too. I also didn't mind the fact that it was underglaze, you could paint the bottom, which you can't do with normal glaze. I thought it was also nice because it was very methodic, it was more planned out than other clay pieces and you had to do certain steps in a certain order. How were your pieces successful and how might you change it if you were to do it again?I think the fur texture was very successful, and I think that his shape was also otter-ish, which is majorly successful. He actually was able to hold the candle, which is something that I was worried about while making him. I would definitely do the face different next time, I had a lot of trouble with it, and I would try to make it so that the arms held the candle by itself a little better.
