This is an excerpt from the video Hakeme Basics, where I teach viewers to make their own inexpensive sgraffito tool, for carving precise lines.
The full-length video is about the practice of Hakeme (Japanese for "brush stroke") for decorating the surfaces of your pottery. I provide all the nuts and bolts, plus I get into the elusive mental challenges that you go through when learning how to do it. I also give you options for combining Hakeme with other techniques, including sgraffito.
