About

November 28th is Museum Shops Sunday, a national day of activities to promote the fantastic retail offers of Heritage & Cultural sites. As a supplier of the gift shops at The Old Royal Naval College, Fiona Veacock has been invited to create special festive creative sessions within the stunning college surroundings.

At the workshop, you'll be creating Christmas decorations with your drawings preserved forever and working in a spacious level access education room right at the centre of the beautiful surroundings of The Old Royal Naval College. You will be using a traditional studio ceramics technique called Sgraffito, scratching through a coloured layer on a contrasting clay colour to reveal the clay underneath.

These session allow time for settling in, sketching a few ideas, and then the careful scratching through to reveal your design. The cost includes the studio prep & kiln costs. You can pre-book additional decorations to draw on. If breakages occur as we are in the making, we have a limited number of smaller replacements that we’ll do instead rather than anyone going home disappointed.
