About this Workshop

In this workshop, participants will learn about illustrating on functional pottery using sgraffito and underglaze painting. This method is similar to drawing using pens and watercolors. Celia will talk about ways to create engaging surfaces that are narrative and evoke feeling, and share her tips for being efficient, unafraid, and keeping it fun. Please bring your own underglazes as well as a selection of leatherhard pots that have been slipped and are ready to sgraffito.

Celia Feldberg is an artist living in Philadelphia, PA. Born in England and raised in Massachusetts, she earned her BFA in ceramics from the Massachusetts College of Art and Design in Boston in 2019. She makes illustrated pottery, teaches, and maintains an active involvement at craft schools. She is currently a resident artist at The Clay Studio of Philadelphia.

Requirements: Participants must bring their own underglazes as well as a selection of leatherhard pots painted in white slip wherever you want to illustrate.

Suggested Tools: Paper to sketch on, soft pencil, detail brushes (ex. watercolor or bamboo brushes), larger fluffy brushes (ex. hake), palette for mixing underglaze colors, metal rib, variety of pointy tools for sgraffito – any sort of tiny wire loop, angled pointy tools, ball stylus, even non-ceramics tools like etching scribes or dental tools work great. Optional – photos or drawings that you feel inspired by or want to reference in your pieces.
