Everyone needs a party platter to plate their signature dish. In this pottery workshop in San Francisco, you will learn sgraffito techniques to customize a platter that you can bring to potlucks, picnics in Dolores Park or Friendsgiving!
You will learn how to design and carve a sgraffito pattern into a prepared ceramic platter. You will have a choice of bowls, flat platters, as well as unique molded shapes to bring their design to life. After designing and carving the food surface, you will learn how to flip your platters out of the molds and add a foot and your signature to the bottom of the piece.
Sgraffito (meaning “scratched” in Italian) is a technique that originated in Italy and the Middle East around the 10th Century. One color of slip or underglaze is painted over a contrasting color of clay body, and designs and patterns are carved into the surface. Sgraffito is incredibly easy to learn, but the results can be breathtaking.
Whether you're looking for fun things to do in San Francisco or a potter hoping to learn a new skill, you can enjoy a fun afternoon exploring your creativity and making a unique handmade platter!

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: Perfect Party Platters

  • 5/5 from Lucy Montgomery, attended Sep 2026: Lisa was the sun for our class and was super amazing. She was very knowledgeable and kind and made sure we had everything we needed
  • 5/5 from Darianna Yuriko Garcia Robles Y Callejas, attended Aug 2026: great experience, instructor was always focused on making students feel confident and comfortable with the class.
  • 5/5 from Julia Ward, attended May 2026: Kaytea's a wonderful teacher, leading us through into to sgraffito. The set up was "jump right in" as the platters had been shaped prior to our class —so we were able to just jump right into the carving. Would definitely take another workshop here.
  • 5/5 from Jenna Eads, attended Mar 2026: Great class! They make sure you enjoy the class your way and express your style. I would go again!
  • 5/5 from Shelley Sandusky, attended Nov 2025: I had a wonderful time learning about this ancient art form and making my platters. My friend got sick and had to cancel at the last minute, so the instructor allowed me to make two platters and even stayed late so I could finish both of them. I really appreciated her tips and suggestions for my platters - she helped me create something I know I will really love! I was the only one in the class and I enjoyed talking with her while we worked.
  • 5/5 from Ellie Booth, attended Dec 2024: We did it for our holiday get-together. Everyone loved it! It was fun, engaging but also relaxed so we could chill and socialise :)
  • 5/5 from Amie Bailey, attended Nov 2024: This was a FANTASTIC class. Everyone who attended had a great time, left happy and with a *very* cool lamp. New skills were learned, and maybe new passions were sparked! 10/10 would recommend!
  • 5/5 from Austin Quinlan, attended Nov 2024: This was such a fun class! You can tell that she really cares about her art and wants you to create a piece you’re happy with. She was super helpful and informative, and super accommodating. I had the pleasure of having a one on one class and the experience was much more enjoyable. Definitely recommend!
  • 5/5 from Celia Barbaccia, attended Oct 2024: It was a great one on one class and the instructor was super helpful, attentive and fun to hang out with. Great beginners class.
  • 5/5 from Sri Venkatachari, attended Oct 2024: Great class - excellent instruction and welcoming for all artistic abilities. Highly recommend as a fun way to spend an afternoon or evening
  • 5/5 from Zhen Zeng, attended Sep 2024: This workshop was in the cutest gallery, my teacher was talented and lovely! We took our time to bounce off ideas and sketch out what I'm gonna make, then went ahead to have lots of fun making the best fish platter :P
  • 5/5 from Mareike Moeller, attended Aug 2024: I was just for a visit in San Francisco and looked for some fun evening art class and was happy to learn a new technique of pottery, since I enjoy pottery so much. I am so happy that I picked this one, because Kaytea is a very joyfull and good teacher. She knows a lot about clay and pottery and I guess I will have to come back to learn more. She gave me very nice inspiration for pottery as well as for my time in San Francisco and the bay area. I couldn't have hoped for a better class! I loved it, thank you so much for the amazing time! I will definitely come by when I am back in town. :)
  • 5/5 from Sunny Lai, attended Aug 2024: Really fun workshop and easy to get into. Katie was a great teacher/host! It's a good class no matter your level of artistic experience.
  • 5/5 from Rosalia Lopez, attended Jul 2024: Such a wonderful class. I will definitely be back for another class. I made a beautiful platter.
  • 5/5 from Stephanie Strickland, attended Jul 2024: We had a team building event here and everyone had a wonderful time. It was a fun, relaxing setting.
  • 5/5 from Kaitlyn Kauzor, attended May 2024: We came here for our birthdays and it was so much fun! Really great teachers and environment.
  • 5/5 from Samuel Lee, attended Mar 2024: Kaytea was great! had everything prepped for us. it was like being a kid again
  • 5/5 from Sarah Wolf, attended Mar 2024: My friend chose this class for a birthday party and it was so fun. The teacher was knowledgeable, nice, and easy to talk to. We carved and/or painted our plates with underglaze. I can't wait to see my plate when it's done.
  • 5/5 from Samantha Salvaggio, attended Jan 2024: We had a wonderful time taking this Sgraffito class! We learned a lot about different techniques, glazing, clay and more. All materials were provided - all you have to do is show up (but would recommend brainstorming what design you want to do on your platter before arriving). Kaytea was an excellent teacher and conversationalist throughout our session. Would highly recommend this class and can't wait to take more!
  • 5/5 from Sq Mah, attended Jan 2024: Kaytea was knowledgeable and all-around a great time! Gave helpful suggestions on which tools to use and how to execute on a vision :)
  • 5/5 from Courtney Sams, attended Dec 2023: Incredibly kind teacher! Used multiple paint and sgraffito techniques as a complete beginner and didn’t feel rushed at all
  • 5/5 from Anna Refuerzo, attended Dec 2023: We had so much fun at Katie’s sgrafito class! The instruction was clear, the materials were well-prepared and the atmosphere was small and very personalized.
