Sgraffito Carving from Start to Finish with Nicholai Busch
6:30PM Gathering Time
7:00PM Meeting Time
Nicholai Busch is a potter and founder of BuschKraft in San Diego, California. Stoneware and porcelain pieces balance function with modern design and are often finished with carving, slip, or illustration inspired by ceramic art traditions from around the world. Beyond ceramics, BuschKraft designs and produces high-quality pottery tools.
Join for a demo on approaching sgraffito from start to finish. Learn about timing, working when the clay is at the right stage, then applying slip and preparing the surface for carving. How designs are mapped out and created using simple components. How depth is controlled, and how the Dragonfly carving tool creates clean, crisp edges.
