A Ceramic Workshop: Learn Sgraffito Surface Decoration on a Pre Made Bowl with Susan Palmer

By definition, sgraffito is a technique of clay ornamentation in which a surface layer of slip or underglaze is incised on a clay body to reveal a ground of contrasting color.  In this workshop, we will start with a demo of sgraffito and discusses the different carving tools, underglazes and how to transfer imagery.  After painting your pre made bowl with an underglaze color of your choice; you will draw or transfer an image of your choice onto your bowl.  Surface depth and imagery are easily achieved through this carving process.  After a bisque firing, bowls will be glazed with a clear glaze and ready for pick up in 10 days.
