Sgraffito (in Italian "to scratch") is a decorating pottery technique that involves applying layers of color (underglazes or colored slips) to leather hard pottery and then scratching off parts of the layer to create contrasting images, patterns and texture and reveal the clay color underneath
Participants will be provided with small leather hard bowls or plates to decorate with different colored underglazes. Bring your own design idea or use a template/stencil provided.
Finished designs will be covered in clear glaze before firing. Completed work ready for pick up in about 3 weeks!
