Learn sgraffito pottery technique in Colorado Springs. Carve through colored slip to reveal patterns and designs.
Sgraffito is a decorative pottery technique where you apply a layer of colored slip or underglaze to your clay surface, then carve through it to reveal the clay body beneath. The contrast between the colored surface and the exposed clay creates striking graphic patterns.
At Springs Pottery Studio, we teach sgraffito as part of our surface decoration workshops. You'll learn to apply even coats of slip, plan your design, and use various carving tools to create lines, textures, and detailed imagery on your pottery.
At Springs Pottery Studio, we teach sgraffito as part of our comprehensive pottery curriculum. Whether you're exploring this technique for the first time or deepening an existing practice, our instructors will guide you through the fundamentals and help you develop your skills.
All materials are included in our class fees — clay, glazes, kiln firing, and tools. Our studio is equipped with both gas and electric kilns, giving you access to firing options that most pottery studios in Colorado Springs can't offer.
