SGRAFFITO CARVING- Dinner plate & mini dish.
This workshop provides you basic to more advanced techniques for sgraffito carving, some tool technology and tips, as well as creating an artistic and functional plate.
If you have never worked with clay before please feel very welcome to come and experience the fun and satisfaction of creating something functional with your hands. On the day Danica will take you through the making process, and you can decorate and personalize your items as you wish. Items will be hand built using stoneware clay. You will be able to paint your work with colourful underglazes and then either sgraffito carve back into the design or add multiple layers of different colours to create a beautiful feature work.
*Sgraffito carving is a technique Danica uses within her black painted homewares and tablewares - such as her Golden Wattle vases or Banksia Mugs. It is when you paint a slip or underglaze onto almost dry clay, and then carve it back with sharp tools to create an engraved white line/ design.
You may choose to pre draw a design you wish to transfer onto your plate, trace around nature, or do simple linework, which often looks very striking. Danica will demo multiple techniques and give you ideas on the day.
During this workshop you will be making one larger plate and a mini side plate/ nibble dish or small dipping bowl. We will discuss ways of making your own tools, and which ones work best for different effects.
These classes are perfect to enjoy with a group of friends or come along by yourself and meet new ones. They are social, relaxing and heaps of fun.
