4-week Sgraffito Saturday

​

An intensive 4-week course exploring surface decoration techniques for wheel-thrown work. Perfect for potters ready to elevate their functional pieces with sophisticated carved designs. In the first two weeks, you'll throw and trim a cohesive set of functional pottery—mugs, bowls, plates, or vessels that work together as a collection. The final two weeks focus on transforming these pieces through underglaze application and sgraffito carving techniques, learning to create depth, pattern, and visual interest through layered surface design, and skillful use of glazing.
