From ancient Greek pottery to Italian Renaissance ceramics, artists have used this decorative carving method to reveal intricate patterns beneath the surface. You'll learn how to layer colored slips, carve your own designs, and create a one-of-a-kind platter that is equally beautiful on the table or displayed on the wall.
