Sgraffito derives from an Italian word meaning “to scratch.” This technique involves applying two or more layers of a contrasting slip or glaze to a piece of pottery and then using a sgraffito tool to scratch the surface, revealing the natural clay or color underneath. At DiamondCore® Tools, the sgraffito technique is one of our favorites! Using the power of diamonds, hardwood handles and comfortable foam grips, we’ve created tools that will help you to make sgraffito pottery right each time.

“If I could only have one carving sgraffito tool this would be the one! The carving tip is absolutely the perfect size for outlines and thin designs. Also great for signatures and writing. The crown tip is perfect for cleaning up greenware and bisque. This is always my first choice when I'm doing fine carvings on greenware. It feels like DiamondCore made this tool special for me, it's just the best! And of course it is light weight with soft cushions for my fingers. So even if I am carving for 8 hours my hands are not weighed down from a bulky tool.” —Mariah L.
“I was a portrait artist before I started doing pottery. Now, a lot of my work features sgraffito and these tools feel natural to use like a pencil. They are strong and have nice grips which give them a high quality look & feel. I love how easily they carve through clay, especially when bone dry. This tool has a unique shape that allows for more calligraphy style lines. The other side is smooth and gives nice rounded lines.” —Aba

The sharp diamond surfaces are great for keeping your carving area where you want it, avoiding peeling off the surrounding areas. I am so pleased with the quality of these tools.

So if I am carving for 8 hours straight I am not feeling as fatigued in my hands as I do when using other companies heavy and bulky tools.
