Redware Sgraffito Plate WorkshopThis workshop will focus on the sgraffito technique used by 18th and 19th century Pennsylvania German potters to make expressive designs in their folk art pottery. Sgraffito means to “scratch” and workshop participants will draw and scratch a design on a redware plate. Participants can choose a traditional Pennsylvania German design or create their own! No experience required.
The participants have the option to sgraffito 7” or 10″ redware plates coated with white clay slip; limit of 3 plates as time permits.
