Unlock the Art of Sgraffito — Join Our One-Day Hands-On Workshop with Vivian Rodriguez!

This 1-day workshop combines demonstration with hands-on practice and is open to students of all skill levels. Explore Sgraffito—a decorative technique where you carve through colored slip to reveal contrasting clay beneath.

Instructor Vivian Rodriguez will share her personal slip recipes and demonstrate various application methods. You’ll learn to create and apply coloured slips, transfer your own designs onto slipped pottery, and carve using specialized tools. The course emphasizes design flow, texture, and how to integrate Sgraffito into your unique ceramic practice.

Important: Bring your own leather-hard pieces, ready for slip decoration. All forms are welcome but must be suitable for carving. Additional prep or finishing may be required outside of class.

By the end, you’ll feel confident in using Sgraffito techniques in your own work.
