The definition of incise, according to Webster Dictionary, is to carve letters, figures, or devices into something. In my opinion, incising a piece of ceramics is equivalent to adding details to a painting, it brings the beauty of the artwork together. When a piece of clay is incised it makes the piece pop and adds a exquisite texture to it. Pictured below is an incised mug. I am very drawn to this mug because the lines are not perfect, in fact they are very uneven, but somehow the imperfection of it makes it more appealing to my eye. I also think that having different directions in each box makes the piece look more symmetrical. I enjoy the thick uneven lines that compose the boxes and how each time I look at the incised mug I see a new interesting aspect. I am eager to try incising my own cup, I can only hope that it is half as interesting as the one below!
