What is "sgraffito"?

Sgraffito is a technique used in art and pottery where a surface layer of material is scratched or scraped away to reveal a different color or texture underneath. The process involves applying a layer of slip, known as liquid clay, or paint to a surface, then scratching or carving designs into it before it dries or sets. This technique creates detailed and often delicate patterns and can be used to add contrast and depth to artworks. Sgraffito is commonly used in ceramics, wall decoration, and paintings, and is also used in creating functional items like bowls, plates, and tiles.
