Paint Your Own Pottery: Sgraffito Tiles

Apply two colors of glaze and scratch designs or imagery through the top layer. Studio fee is $4 for ISU and $5 for public to attend plus the cost of the bisque you select. Pottery will be fired within a week for you to pick up. Pre-registration with payment not required, but reservations are recommended.
