PROGRAM:
• Practical sgraffito exercises on test tiles and small forms, experimenting with various materials and effects. This includes working with commercial underglazes, colored slips, and testing on different clay bodies.
• Hands-on: producing your own tumblers, mugs, and vessels for decorating; assistance is available for those who are not comfortable with hand-building or throwing techniques
•Developing your story with a focus on the full creative process: sourcing inspiration, developing visual references, translating ideas into drawn designs, and selecting the appropriate techniques and materials to achieve a balanced and expressive result.
•As Sgraffito decoration is a beautiful but time-consuming process, you can expect working, for example, on ten tiles, two smaller pieces and two larger vessels (30 cm).
