Take your decorating techniques to the next level with the sgraffito technique!
What is Sgraffito?: In Italian, Sgraffito means “to scratch”. It is a technique of ceramic decoration where you apply colored slip on leather hard clay and then etch an image or pattern into the surface to reveal the claybody underneath. Students will learn the decorating technique of sgraffito by practicing on small ceramic tiles and then perfecting it on their own work!
- All clay used in Art League ceramics classes must be purchased at the Art League. Clay purchased at the Art League cannot be brought outside of the studio. If additional time is needed to complete projects, students in a ceramics class may enroll in open studio time. Work produced in Art League classes must be constructed at a reasonable size so as to not overload the kilns. The Art League thanks its students for following guidelines to keep the kiln schedule under control so that all students receive their work back in a timely fashion.
