Program Description

Event Details

Create your own custom ceramic cup in this special sgraffito class with professional Artist and Instructor Danielle Pugel. Sgraffito is a surface design technique used in ceramics in which you paint the surface of a clay object, let it dry, and then scrape away the paint to reveal the clay underneath. Students will need to return to the library in 2-3 weeks to pick up their ceramic cup after it has been glazed and fired. This class is free and all supplies are provided. Seating is limited and registration is required. If you are unable to attend please cancel your registration to open your spot for another participant.

Danielle Pugel is a multimedia artist and ceramics instructor local to the Indianapolis area. She has spent the decade since receiving her bachelors degrees in Ceramics and Sculpture at Herron School of Art and Design practicing and exploring materials and helping others discover and grow their inner creativity. Emotions, science, mindfulness, and curiosity are all important in both her work and teaching approach. 

Crafting Connections is a series of Art classes at A-WTPL made possible by an Arts Project Support Grant through the Indiana Arts Commission. Learn a new art form from a professional artist while connecting with your neighbors and community members.

Activities are made possible in part by Noblesville Creates and the Indiana Arts Commission, which receives support from the State of Indiana and the National Endowment for the Arts.
