Level: Beginner +
Learn the ceramic technique of sgraffito (Italian for “scratched”), a process of carving into a top layer and removing material to create textured designs. In this approachable and fun pottery class taught by Karen Eckberg, students will explore design possibilities and this satisfying process to create a one-of-a-kind ceramic tile. If you wish to make more tiles, they can be purchased directly from Eckberg for $15 each.
The tiles will be fired, a clear glaze applied and then fired a second time by Eckberg in her studio. The tiles will be ready to be picked up at the Richeson Gallery by June 24. This workshop is great for beginners and anyone who is interested in exploring a new art form.
