Scratch Art: Bold Designs, Brilliant Reveals

Get ready to reveal hidden colors and create striking works of art—one scratch at a time! This hands-on introduction to Scratch Art is perfect for beginners and creative explorers alike. Using special scratchboards coated in black ink, you’ll learn how to “draw” by etching away the surface to uncover vibrant white, silver, or colored layers underneath. Think of it like engraving, but way more fun!

We’ll start with simple practice pieces to get comfortable with the tools, then move on to a more detailed project you’ll take home. Use one of the sample images provided or bring your own photo (and a photocopy) for inspiration. Whether you’re creating bold patterns or intricate drawings, this is a relaxing and rewarding way to make your art pop. All materials are provided—just bring your imagination!
