Have you ever wanted to carve your own ceramic mug?
In this hands-on sgraffito mug workshop in Sacramento, you’ll learn how to carve, scratch, and etch designs into leather-hard clay using a traditional sgraffito technique. This method involves carving through colored slip or underglaze to reveal clay beneath, creating bold, graphic designs with a tactile, print-like quality.
The technique may feel familiar if you enjoy block printing or illustration, as it shares the same rhythmic, intentional carving process. This class draws from years of experience creating the Folk Animal Mug series, now shared so you can bring your own designs to life in clay.
