MA Ceramics - Stage One

So I have started my Masters in Ceramics at the University of Sunderland. We were given a module guide for Stage 1, which is the testing stage - and how fun it is! As I am continuing from my last project Last Post, I am focusing how I can present the letters the audience had written. So in this case I have been looking at how I can represent the paper and the writing, for example, scrupled paper, folded paper, a postcard? and written test, sgraffito, embossed or stamped words? I have also looked into glazes and oxides.
