Surface Decoration & Glazing Pottery Workshops in HSR Layout

A student practicing the sgraffito technique with colored slips during our surface exploration course. The detailed bird carving is revealed as she scratches away the top layer.

Exploring surface decorations using slips and pigments in a special workshop. This beautiful floral pattern was created by stamping and painting onto the clay surface.

A glimpse from our workshop on exploring surface artwork on clay. It was a fun-filled day of learning new techniques and seeing everyone's creativity shine.

When ideas, inspiration, and hard work meet, you get a stunning piece like this. This vase features an intricate sgraffito pattern, beautifully executed by one of our talented members.

Carving has always been my favorite way to decorate a surface. I love the texture and flow you can achieve, especially on a dark clay body like this one.

Creating textures on pots adds so much character. It takes a lot of time and patience, but the final look, with its play of light and shadow, is always worth the effort.

This video shows the process of creating a large terracotta vase, from throwing on the wheel to carving the final texture on the surface.

Experimenting with marbling by combining two different clay bodies on the wheel. I am excited to see how the patterns turn out after the piece is fired.

Pottery can be a canvas for painting. This unique vase was decorated with underglaze to create a modern, illustrative design before being fired.
