Sgraffito with Sarah Anderson - December 13th at 8pm EST

Join Sarah Anderson on a deep dive into the surface design of sgraffito! During this online workshop, you will be incorporating two-dimensional imagery onto the three-dimensional surface of clay. Learn new ways to incorporate elements together with the use of color, texture, movement, and other elements and principles of art. Explore new uses of surface design techniques, how to use negative and positive space to create illusions of depth, working with the clay at various stages, underglaze tips, and more. Participants are welcome to come prepared with a leather hard piece to follow along, or just come to watch or ask questions!
