In this two-hour workshop, you will learn the ancient art of sgraffito. Sgraffito is a ceramic decoration technique where color is applied to the surface of a ceramic object, and patterns and designs are carved into it, revealing the color of the clay below. You will choose a raw ceramic beer stein, design your image on paper, and then apply underglaze and carve decorations onto your mug.
After the class, we will dry the mugs, glaze, and fire them. Mugs should be ready to pick up a few weeks after the workshop.
This class makes for lovely gift ideas for creatives or beer nerds in San Francisco. Learn how to make sgraffito pottery and take home a personalized handmade item that shows off your hard work!

Please note: Public dates for this class require at least 2 guests to run. In the unlikely event that we don't reach this number, we may cancel the session; if that happens, we'll inform you and let you choose between a refund or reschedule, so please watch your email/SMS one day prior to the class.

Recent reviews of Sgraffito Pottery Workshop: Carve and Chug

  • 5/5 from Kinsey Kuhn, attended Sep 2023: My team had an awesome time at the sgraffito workshop and would absolutely recommend it! Katie was a wonderful instructor and made the craft very accessible, even for those on the team who were less artistically inclined. She created the mug bodies ahead of time and we spent the time carving our designs - it was just the right amount of time to learn a new skill while also creating something that we were proud of and will actually use in our homes. Great team bonding activity!
