Sgraffito consists of drawing and scratching the surface of a piece in the leather phase, partially removing the layer of engobe - previously applied - to reveal the color of the clay underneath and create contrasts, different intensities and textural effects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Throughout the session, each participant develops their own graphic composition, exploring lines, patterns, rhythms and variations in the depth of the scratch, understanding how pressure and gesture influence the final result. The workshop invites experimentation and the discovery of drawing applied to clay, and is suitable both for those coming into contact with ceramics for the first time and for those wishing to deepen their creative practices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"padding-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--30)\"><strong>Minimum age for participation: 9<br>Maximum age for participation: 14<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Practical exercise<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>After a brief introduction and demonstration, each participant works on one or two tiles, applying the sgraffito technique to the surface already prepared with engobe.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Variations in texture, depth and intensity of stroke will be explored, understanding how each gesture alters the contrast and visual effect of the piece.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">*The pieces produced will be fired, glazed and fired again by us (they will have to be picked up after 3 to 4 weeks).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Syllabus:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Introduction to the sgraffito technique.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Demonstration of the tools and the different incision possibilities.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Exploring ideas, drawing and composition.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Individual practical exercise on one to two tiles in the leather phase.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Important information:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Who can attend these sessions?<br><\/strong>The sessions are aimed at children and young people aged between 9 and 14.
