Come learn the addictive and fun technique of sgraffito!
Sgraffito is a technique involving scratching through a layer of underglaze to reveal the white clay color underneath. No experience necessary-all materials will be provided. In fact, if you decide to make a platter or dish, you can bring one to use as a mold.
This will be a two-session class.
Dates for this class will be either Monday March 30 and April 6
-OR- Thursday April 9 and April 16. Please let me know which you prefer when you sign up.
Cost for this class is $80 for new students and $75 for returning students. DM me to sign up or with questions.

Say hello to my Little Demon! He’s one of the new “pocket punks” in my collection. Standing just 6” high (fur included) he’s ready to haunt your house this Halloween. He’s a friendly demon though, so he’s just in search of fun. He’s hand stitched and comes with a handmade stand but can stand on his own also. In my Etsy shop now.
