Ceramic Class Plate

Slab/Wheel Sgraffito Plate; this view shows the inner swirl made with white slip. Slip is clay/ceramic talk for saying a very watery white clay. This was applied to the inside flat area of the plate, then while the potter's wheel was turning slowly, I pressed my index finger at the center and slowly moved it outwards, letting the rotation create the swirl.
