Description

Sgraffito is a ceramic decoration technique in which a layer of engobe (decorative coating) is applied to cover all or part of the surface of the piece. Then, with a sharp tool, the piece is scratched or carved through the engobe, revealing the color of the clay underneath.

The sgraffito workshop is suitable for beginners and those who already work with ceramics and want to learn more about this decorative technique.

No previous knowledge is required.
Minimum age for participation: 16 years / Accompanied by an adult (two entries): 14 years
