In this 2.5 hour session you will create your own slab built egg rack that holds a dozen eggs, add texture, explore sgraffito or develop designs with underglaze to complete your piece. Using a former you will slab build your egg rack, refining and developing your own design before using underglazes or engobes to add colour, detail and pattern. You can bring along your own surface design ideas or use the provided materials to create your surface design on the day.
