The workshop taught by Redware artist Denise Wilz of Wilz Pottery will focus on sgraffito technique used by 19th and 19th century Pennsylvania German potters to make expressive designs in their folk art. Sgraffito means "scratch" and workshop participants will draw and scratch a design. Includes 4 ornaments-1 will be ready to sgraffito. The remaining 3 will be prepared for decoration by the participant and can be decorated using the sgraffito or slip trailing methods.
All materials, tools, and books for ideas will be provided. The finished hearts are 3 3/4" wide and 3 1/2" tall.
The ornaments will be shipped back to the participants, with strings for hanging, within 4 weeks. Can be done without much mess but water will be used to prepare the ornaments. The clay does contain iron oxide (rust) which gives it the beautiful red color! Additional ornaments will be available at $10 each. Participants can choose a traditional Pennsylvania German design or create their own! No experience required.
