About

Join this festive and family-oriented ceramics workshop with local artist Fiona Veacock at Old Royal Naval College.

Participants 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. 

For this session, Fiona will have prepared a rich dark studio grade stoneware clay into shapes and over painted with a contrasting white clay, which will be stiff and partially dry.  

This session allows for settling in, sketching a few ideas, and then carefully scratching through to reveal your design. The cost includes the studio prep and kiln costs. You can pre-book additional decorations to draw on.  

The dishes will be fired, glazed and returned to the Shop at Discover Greenwich for collection from the 10th December.
