Carve & Create: Sgraffito Design on Clay Forms
In this hands-on pottery class, students will create a slab-built trinket dish, coaster set, or spoon rest while exploring the sgraffito technique. Sgraffito, meaning "to scratch" in Italian, is a decorative process where layers of underglaze are applied to the clay surface and then carefully carved away to reveal a contrasting design underneath. Students will learn to apply underglaze to clay slabs and use carving tools to etch patterns, textures, or illustrations into their pieces. Perfect for beginners and experienced artists alike, this class offers a fun way to combine pottery and surface design for a truly personalized creation.

The maximum number of participants in the program is 20, therefore, we kindly request that you submit only one response. Any duplicate responses will be ignored or put on a wait list. Once we get a total of 20 people signed up, everyone else will also be placed on a waitlist. Each group will be notified of their status by Wednesday, June 25th, when registration closes.
