The artists have been transforming the simple bowls into works of art for the last week. every morning we open up the art centre at 9am (turning on the heaters....because it is freezing in the mornings) and wait for the artists to come in and get settles into the morning routine. The women have been using a sgraffito technique to make patterns and marks on the unfired bowls. We painted the green ware with a natural clay pan slip, which seems to be a very high iron bearing clay, and then using sharp tools scratched lines onto the surface of the bowls.
