Incising Blog Post #1

In my second ceramics class, I learned how to use the pinch technique to create a pot out of clay.  In my next class, we are going to be learning how to do incising on the pottery.  Incising is defined as engraving design by cutting or scraping into the clay surface usually when it is mostly dry.  Incising can be done on any type of pot and cups as well.  It adds a pretty design that is pleasing
to the eye.  While researching what incise pottery is I found this incised ceramic lamp.  I really liked the design that was done on this particular piece.  I think this is something that I would like to try on my own piece in class.
