terracotta and blue engobe vase, decorated with sgraffito technique, h 37x13x13 cm
The work is a collaboration between Clara Holt for the decoration and Chiara Zoppei for the vase. Clara, an Italian artist based in Milan, uses the sgraffito technique for vase decoration. After applying a layer of coloured slip to the ceramic she scrapes off parts of the layer to create images, patterns and textures often taken from classical literature, contrasting with the colour of the underlying clay.
