Here are two interesting events to attend if you are in Goa this week.
LEARN SGRAFFITO
Learn about surface design at a Sgraffito workshop at the Carpe Diem Art Gallery, Majorda, from June 28 – 30. Artist Ramdas Gadekar will be the resource person for the event.
Participants will learn to create their own plates, design mandalas, glaze and mark guidelines onto the plate, scratch the mandala design, and finally, take home the fired Sgraffito plate.
Sgraffito is an art technique which involves scratching a surface to reveal a layer of colour. The word comes from the Italian word, graffito, which means ‘to scratch’.
This technique can be used on painting, pottery and glass.
