Halloween Pottery Workshop: Spooky Sgraffito

Sgraffito is a pottery decoration technique that dates back to the tenth century and is still used today! The word sgraffito comes from the Italian for "scratched, " and that is exactly how you will create your design on your trinket dish; layers of colourful underglaze will be scratched away to create white lines and patterns.In this two-hour workshop, you will be provided with a leather-hard trio of clay disks (this means it's clay that hasn't been fired), and you will use a variety of tools to scrape through the layers of underglaze to create your pattern.At the end of the workshop, your finished piece will be fired and glazed and ready to collect from Hazlehurst Studios within a week.When your trio is finished, it would be perfect for use as a hanging ornament, a coaster, or a tile.This workshop is open to all ages; anyone who can hold a pencil can do sgraffito!
