Sgraffito in Boulder

Sgraffito is a decorative pottery technique where you apply a layer of colored slip or underglaze to your clay surface, then carve through it to reveal the clay body beneath. The contrast between the colored surface and the exposed clay creates striking graphic patterns.

At Boulder Pottery Studio, we teach sgraffito as part of our surface decoration workshops. You'll learn to apply even coats of slip, plan your design, and use various carving tools to create lines, textures, and detailed imagery on your pottery.
