I am such a fan of Erin Furimsky and her work and it was a huge treat to work with her on her Layered Surfaces DVD! I still haven’t even come close to exploring all of the ideas that were generated from that shoot. (I do realize having lots of new ideas is a good problem to have, but having no time to work through them is a little bit frustrating. Oh well.)
Today, I thought I would share another fantastic layered surface technique from Erin’s DVD. In this one, she takes ordinary foam craft stamps and puts her own twist on them. Then she combines that look with sgraffito (see finished glazed and fired piece below video!). Gorgeous, as usual. – Jennifer Poellot Harnetty, editor.

I just wanted to say that I LOVE the dvd. I have been very inspired by it and have watched it multiple times because of how much information there is in it. I have watched it so much, I am embarrassed to say, that my 5 year old now plays “Pottery Video”, and pretends to demonstrate how to decorate pottery, like on the video.

Great demo, Erin. I do a lot of carving on my pieces, mostly hand-built, and was very taken with the tool you used in the video clip. Was it home-made? If not, can you suggest a company? Thanks!

Erin is so good at this. Love to watch her at work. Simple and yet so effective. If she is ever in the UK, please let us know. I can probably get a workshop session set up in the second quarter of the year.

I will try this out! Lovely demonstration. I now see where scraffito can look artistic as another way of “drawing”. Would appreciate viewing the after-fired piece as I still don’t relate to unfired glazes very well. Thanks!
