Sgraffito: A Surface Design Workshop
Sgraffito: A Surface Design Workshop with Misha Oraa Ali
Part of Community Maker Days
Unlock the secrets of this timeless ceramic technique in this immersive workshop. Participants will receive an overview of the sgraffito techniques and learn about different tools, clays, and underglazes suitable for this kind of carving work. Participants will use sgraffito techniques on slabs, exploring ways to create dynamic surface compositions and layered visual effects. This workshop is open to ceramic artists of all levels. Participants are welcome to bring their own sketchbooks or design ideas for reference. Work produced will be bisque-fired and then glazed with a clear glaze after the workshop and will be available for pick-up within 2 weeks.
Misha Oraa Ali is an artist-scientist who makes functional and sculptural ceramics. Their work is inspired by marine biology, neuroscience, design engineering, and data visualization. You can often find them getting covered in mud while throwing on the wheel, sculpting little chess pieces or huffing and puffing while wedging pigments into clay.
