Sgraffito is a wonderful drawing technique using vitreous liquid enamel. All artists in all media are welcome to try it for a day. The use of liquid enamel to glaze steel in high heat can provide the potential for creating larger pieces that are virtually indestructible for outdoor installations and functional objects. The Center for Enamel Art Annex, situated within KVO Industries provides a great way to create within and with the enamel industry, using industrial equipment and supplies. This one day play day is the first in a series that Center for Enamel Art will be sponsoring to explore various rendering techniques in this medium with well-known ceramicist/metal artist, Todd Barrickclow, who is known for his black on white sgraffito clay work. No previous enameling or metalworking experience is necessary.
Participants will start off the day by spraying several small 5″ x 7″ white-coated steel tiles with a solid contrasting color. After working smaller there will be the option to work in larger formats and add overglaze color to sgraffitoed images.

The Center for Enamel Art Annex inside KVO Industries, an industrial enamel firm in Santa Rosa, CA.
