The Winona Arts Center is pleased to offer a Tile Making workshop on May 28, 2022 from 1 to 3 pm with Richard Spiller, a local potter from Wisconsin. The technique is called “sgraffito” (in Italian, meaning “to scratch”) and is a technique produced by applying a drawing to a hard, red clay pottery piece and then scratching off parts of the layer to create contrasting images and patterns to reveal the clay color underneath. The tile is 8″ square and a simple design works best for this project. Spiller will fire the tile twice and return it to the participants. The cost is $30 per person and payment is required prior to the class. Payments can be mailed to the Winona Arts Center, 228 E 5th St., Winona and be made payable to the Winona Arts Center. To register for the class, email Richard Spiller at spillerart0@gmail.com. 

Richard Spiller has been a potter and a ceramic artist for 50 years and has taught in Europe, Finland, Latvia and Russia as well as universities in the US. He has a home studio in Urne, Wisconsin. 

Masks are required.
