The Homeware Series: Sgraffito Plates

T&Cs

Welcome to the Homeware Series! Join local ceramicist Hannah Way in our Ceramics Studio to create your own beautifully decorated sgraffito plate.

Using ceramic handbuilding techniques, you’ll shape and refine your own plate before exploring the traditional sgraffito decorating process. Working with coloured slips, you’ll learn how to carve through the surface to reveal contrasting layers beneath, creating patterns, botanical motifs, or your own unique designs.

You’ll work closely with our ceramics tutor to develop your piece, considering form, function, and decorative composition, before applying the finishing touches ready for glazing.

By the end of the workshop, you’ll have created a one-of-a-kind ceramic plate to be glazed and kiln-fired by our studio team, ready to collect within three weeks.

If you really enjoy the workshop, and want to explore your passion for ceramics further, there’s the option to join as a ceramics member – find out more about ceramics membership here.

Booking Terms & Conditions

Workshop and course bookings can be cancelled and refunded (less a 10% administration fee) up until 7 days before the scheduled start date. Our workshops support the work we do as a charity, and because materials and equipment are ordered in advance, we regret that refunds cannot be offered less than 7 days before the workshop date.

Bookings cannot be transferred between courses however bookings can be transferred to another person in the event that you are unable to attend on the day. In the event that The Art House needs to cancel a workshop for any reason, for example due to tutor illness, your ticket will be refunded in full.
