Turn your pottery into a canvas for creativity in this inspiring 4-week course that combines wheel throwing with the beautiful art of sgraffito. Whether you love botanical illustrations, bold patterns, whimsical drawings, or modern designs, you’ll learn how to transform everyday pottery into functional works of art.Working in a relaxed and supportive studio environment, you’ll begin by creating your own cups, bowls, or plates on the pottery wheel. As your pieces take shape, you’ll explore the colorful world of underglazes before learning the sgraffito technique—carefully carving through layers of color to reveal striking designs and intricate details beneath the surface.
Throughout the course, you’ll:
* Learn to throw and refine functional pottery on the wheel
* Explore underglaze colors and design planning
* Discover the art of sgraffito through carving and illustration
* Create up to four uniquely decorated pottery pieces from start to finish
Each piece you create will be completely your own, reflecting your personal style and creativity. Along the way, you’ll enjoy the calming rhythm of working with clay while building new skills and connecting with fellow makers in a welcoming studio community.
By the end of the class, you’ll leave with a collection of beautifully illustrated pottery that’s both functional and deeply personal.
Whether you’re new to pottery or looking to expand your surface design skills, this class offers a fun and rewarding way to explore one of ceramics’ most expressive decorating techniques.
