Sgraffito is a drawing technique where a sharp tool is used to scratch into a surface to produce drawings with fine lines.

​

In this workshop sgraffito is used as a painting technique where you scratch through a coloured layer of paint to reveal already painted colours underneath. It is a simple and effective way of experimenting and producing energetic, exciting and sometimes accidental marks in your work. 

​

There will a demonstration in the morning of the various techniques followed by a chance to experiment  using different materials, papers and tools. In the afternoon you will have time to produce a work based on what you have learnt.

​

We will be working in the light and spacious village hall at Semley which has a lovely outside area and plenty of parking space. The Hall is situated just off the A350 on the edge of the village of Semley in Dorset.
