https://www.janesartcenter.org/product/sgraffito-workshop-with-janet-montvilleThe focus of this workshop is to learn how, and when to carve a design into clay using the Sgraffito technique. The students will receive two pre-made wheel thrown pieces to practice, and will also make their own piece to carve.The pieces will use underglaze for contrasts and white stoneware to build. Individual pieces can be glazed after they are bisqued at a later date. Students must have minimum knowledge to hand build or wheel throw their own piece. This is a surface decoration workshop, and building techniques will not be addressed. All workshop takers will receive 12.5lbs of clay; a week prior to the workshop date to construct their individual piece to carve. Pieces need to be unfired and in a soft leather hard state for carving. Make sure pieces have walls that are 1/4” to 3/8” thick to allow for carving. For deeper carving, 3/8” is best. Underglazes and carving tools will be supplied. Firings and glazing will be included for all 3 pieces made. Students will be allowed to return to Jane’s Art Center to glaze the pieces made during this workshop.
