2. Scratching your creative itch: Sgraffito plates

The results are intricate, elegant, and incredibly satisfying; you’ll learn how to create delicate lines, bold patterns, or even detailed scenes, making your plate a true work of art. This is pottery painting in London with an exciting, textural twist!
