✍️ Sgraffito 2-Part Workshop
Fridays, June 5th & 12th | 3:30–5:30pm

Part 1 – June 5th: Make your piece + choose your pattern or image
Part 2 – June 12th: Carve your design using sgraffito technique

What is sgraffito?
A decorative technique where you scratch through a top layer (slip or underglaze) to reveal a different color underneath—creating contrast, pattern, and texture.

No experience needed. Just curiosity and a steady hand (or a wobbly one—imperfections are beautiful too).

After Part 2, your instructor will glaze your piece in a clear, glass-like finish. You'll pick it up later, ready to admire or use.

💲 $80 covers both classes + all materials
