Ceramic plate in dark green shiny surface decorated with a stripe in the center with ornate borders, curled leaves and a bird sitting on a branch. The plate is made with sgrafitto decoration, which means that you first paint the plate with underglaze and the scrape away the glaze to create the design.
As with many freelance illustrators, sometimes money is tight. The wait between projects is long. So why not do the one thing that takes even more time and effort for less money?
Start making ceramics!
honestly, it´s great and I highly recommend.

For anyone interested in a pottery course, I highly recommend Salemi Ceramics in Sicily! I spent a wonderful week in the small town of Salemi learning sgraffito, eating local food and meeting other potters from all over the world.
Here is one of the vases I illustrated while there: The Fenris Wolf

Ceramic vase with illustration of person playing fiddle in a waterfall, the norwegian mythological creature called Fossegrimen
Illustrated pottery project!
This little vase is decorated with my take on the norwegian mythological creature Fossegrimen playing his fiddle in the waterfall. Several norwegian fiddle players have told stories of visiting Fossegrimen to learn how to play. #ceramics #illustration #pottery #norway
