Have you ever wondered how I create the intricate surfaces on my pieces with underglaze? In this class, I will share my approach to underglaze surface decoration including how I think about design segmenting, color blocking, blending underglaze, my wet sgraffito technique and how I paint fine lines to create the detail and design on the surfaces of my sculptural birds. In this introductory class, I recommend starting with a simple design on your bird so that you have the time to learn the basic techniques. 

If you didn’t take my Handbuilding Stylized Bird class prior to this one, you can substitute your own small sculptural piece. Bone dry clay is preferred for the class as it will allow your piece to dry faster after each underglaze application.

Wet Color Sgraffito on Tile

In this class, you will learn how to create cool tiles with intricate border patterns and a central design. Wet color sgraffito is a fast, spontaneous technique that allows you to carve directly into wet underglaze to create border patterns on your tile. Once they dry, painted underglaze is used to create intricate color overlays and an image in the center of your tile.

What You'll Learn in This Ceramics Class:

• Wet color scraffito technique
• How to create a color inlay
• How to create underglaze color blends
• Design transfer
• Preparing surfaces for underglaze painting
• Sgraffito basics
• How to do detail touchup work
• Glazing tips

Skill Level: A basic understanding of ceramics is necessary. No drawing skills are necessary as participants can take a photo of their desired imagery for the center of their tile and copy it onto the tile with tracing paper.
