Richard Spiller, a local potter from Wisconsin, will present a Sgraffito tile workshop on March 25, 2023 from 1 to 3 pm at the Winona Arts Center, 228 East 5th Street. Sgraffito (in Italian meaning “to scratch”) 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. Students can bring their own drawings or use those provided. The tiles will be fired at Spiller’s studio and returned to participants at a later date. Cost is $30 for members of WAC and $35 for non-members.

To register, contact Jen Benson at jsbenson50@gmail.com.

Masks are encouraged but not required.
