  • Sgraffito 2 Part Workshop
    Fridays, October 9th & 16th from 3:00-5:00pm

    Friday, October 9th: making the project

    Friday, October 17th: carving techniques

    Sgraffito is a decorative technique that involves scratching through a slip or underglaze to reveal parts of an underlying layer, creating a contrast in colour. And to reveal a pattern or image while doing so.

    In the first part of this class, we will create our pieces and select the patterns or images to apply to them, and then we will let them dry a little. In the second part, we will do the sgraffito technique on our pieces.

    Then your instructor will glaze them in a clear glass like glaze to finish them for you to be picked up at a later date.

    Fee: $80.00 covers both classes all materials needed

    Includes instruction, materials, & guidance from an instructor, allowing you to create your own pottery pieces.
