Workshop Overview
Sgraffito is the process of carving into the surface layer of slip or underglaze to reveal the clay or color beneath. On day one of this workshop, participants will learn about the history of Sgraffito as a technique and begin working with clay. Participants will create either a slab dish or a wide bowl while practicing shaping techniques and end the day applying colored slip or underglaze to their pieces. On day two, participants will apply the sgraffito technique, using tools to carve away a design of their choice, with demonstration and guidance from the instructor.
