Course overview
Discover the art of sgraffito through this hands-on, step-by-step course designed to build your skills from the fundamentals to more advanced techniques.
Working through four panels, you’ll begin with a simple design and gradually build toward more detailed and complex techniques. Along the way, you’ll learn the essentials of sgraffito—from preparing and pigmenting your mixes and applying them, to transferring your design and carefully cutting away layers to reveal the finished work.
Each panel builds on what came before, giving you the opportunity to practice, refine, and revisit key techniques as your designs become more intricate. With clear instruction and guidance throughout, you’ll develop a deeper understanding of the process while creating pieces of your own.
Whether you’re new to sgraffito or looking to strengthen your technique, this course gives you the knowledge, process, and confidence to create layer by layer.
