Sgraffito – ceramic decoration (in Slovenian)

Sgraffito is a decoration technique used both in ceramics and in wall paintings. The name comes from the Italian word sgraffiare, which means "to scratch." The process is based on applying one or more layers of color to a surface and then removing the top layer by carving or scratching to reveal the layer underneath.

At the workshop, each participant will receive pre-prepared clay pieces, on which we will carve motifs with various tools and explore the possibilities of this decorative technique. The created pieces will then be dried, fired, and glazed, and participants will be able to collect them later.

The workshop is suitable for anyone who wants to learn the sgraffito technique or expand their knowledge of ceramic decoration. No prior experience is required.

The workshop is intergenerational, suitable for children from 6 years old accompanied by an adult (one adult can register themselves and one child). The price is per pair.
