Workshop Description:
Join us for a fun, creative journey into the world of sgraffito surface designs! In this workshop, you’ll learn the fundamentals of sgraffito techniques and practice transforming two-dimensional designs onto three-dimensional clay surfaces. We’ll explore the principles of art, experimenting with color, texture, movement, and understanding how to use positive and negative space to create depth and visual interest. We’ll start with simple sgraffito exercises on clay tiles and paper to collage imagery and develop a strong composition.
