Sgraffito Workshop (Please email for availability)
Step into the calm of the garden studio and explore the beautifully expressive technique of sgraffito in this hands-on pottery workshop.
Sgraffito is a subtractive ceramic process where you paint onto damp clay, then carefully scratch back through the surface to reveal the natural clay body beneath. Using simple tools—anything from a stylus to a pencil or even the end of a spoon—you’ll create delicate patterns, illustrations, and textures full of contrast and character.
This workshop is all about slowing down, taking your time, and enjoying the creative process. We’ll explore mark-making, storytelling through surface design, and the meditative rhythm of working with clay.
During the session, you’ll learn how to:
Apply coloured slip or underglaze to leather-hard clay
Experiment with line, pattern, and illustrative techniques
Carve and reveal your design using sgraffito methods
Create your own unique piece, such as a plate, mug, or tile
No prior experience is needed—this workshop is perfect for beginners and anyone looking to reconnect with creativity in a relaxed, supportive setting.
