Mishima and Sgraffito
“Sgraffito” means to scratch or mark, while Mishima means
to lay slip or underglaze into a mold. In Sgraffito, you are scratching away
the clay and in mishima, you are molding slip into a shape. Mishima can be used for complex shapes that must
be made several times. In my opinion, sgraffito is a way to incorporate your
own design.
