Sgraffito, Mishima and Brush making w/ Susan Coe

Announcing a Special Double Workshop Event with Susan Coe
We’re thrilled to welcome Susan Coe to Sullivan Pottery for a two-part immersive workshop exploring the expressive and intricate techniques of Sgraffito, Mishima, and handcrafted brush making.

This is a rare opportunity to dive deep into surface design and tool creation with an artist known for her detailed line work and innovative approach to traditional techniques.

What You’ll Learn:
🎨 Sgraffito – Learn the art of carving through layers of colored slip to reveal striking patterns and imagery beneath the surface. This bold, graphic technique offers endless possibilities for storytelling through texture and contrast.

🌀 Mishima – Explore this elegant inlay technique, where slip is pressed into incised lines, then wiped away to leave behind crisp, fine details. Perfect for adding delicate designs with precision.

🖌️ Brush Making – Craft your own squirrel-tail brush using time-honored methods and natural materials. Susan will guide you through the process, showing you how to create a brush tailored to your own mark-making style — a tool that’s both functional and deeply personal.

Whether you’re a surface design enthusiast or simply curious about refining your decorative techniques, this double workshop promises to inspire and expand your ceramic vocabulary.

Space is limited — reserve your spot today and elevate your surface game!
