Sgraffito Tile Workshop with Richard Spiller

Saturday / August 19 / 12:00-3:00pm

Richard Spiller, a local potter from Wisconsin, will present a Sgraffito tile workshop on August 19 from noon to 3 pm. Sgraffito (in Italian, meaning “to scratch”) is a technique produced by applying a drawing to a hard, red clay pottery piece and then scratching off parts of the layer to create contrasting images and patterns to reveal the clay color underneath. The tile is 8″ square and a simple design works best for this project. Students can bring their own drawings or use those provided. The tiles will be fired at Spiller’s studio and returned to participants at a later date.

Cost is $30 for members of WAC and $35 for non-members. To register, contact Jen Benson at jsbenson50@gmail.com.
