Let’s explore a variety of pottery surface techniques. Try hands-on: sgrafitto, mishima and paper resist techniques.
Teaching artist Anna Woolf will guide you through each technique on clay forms provided.
Sgrafitto is a form of decoration made by scratching through a surface to reveal a lower layer of a contrasting color, typically done in plaster or stucco on walls, or in slip on ceramics before firing.
Mishima is a technique of inlaying slip, underglaze, or even contrasting clay into the main clay body of the pottery piece. This technique creates extremely fine, intricate design work with hard, sharp edges that can be difficult to reliably replicate in any other way.
Paper Resist is a technique of laying cut paper over the clay surface before brushing on slip or underglaze.
Materials kits will be available for pick up at Comb’s Studio in Prospect Harbor. Finished work and equipment is to be returned to the studio. Anna will fire and glaze your works after the last class.
