Richard Spiller, a local potter from Wisconsin, will present a second tile-making workshop on July 16, 2022 from 1 to 3 pm at the Winona Arts Center. 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 East 5th St., Winona, MN 55987 and be made payable to the Winona Arts Center. To register for the class, email Richard Spiller at spillerart0@gmail.com.

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.  

Masks are encouraged but not required.
