There will be an initial demo on throwing and trimming, and you will also receive one-on-one guidance.

The class will end with a sgraffito demo (a colored slip and scratching decorating technique), and you will hand decorate your work with your choice of colored slips.

The instructor will clear glaze your pieces once they have been bisqued at the studio.
