Ceramics for children ages 8-12 who love hands-on experiences and creative process, this exciting class offers the perfect opportunity to explore the world of clay.
Students will learn the fundamentals of handbuilding techniques such as pinch pots, slab formation and coil building, creating functional and sculptural forms, along with a chance at wheel throwing, all while using recycled clay.
In addition to clay formation we will delve into surface treatment of the texturing of wet clay, along with decorative glazing techniques.
The goal is to inspire confidence in young artists, empowering them to bring their creative ideas to life within this wonderfully satisfying and expressive medium!
