About
In this 8-week ceramics class, young artists will dive into the exciting world of clay! Over the course of 1.5 hours each week, students will learn the full ceramic process, from shaping their own creations to understanding how firing and glazing bring their work to life.
Throughout the course, artists will explore a mix of hand-building techniques such as coiling, slab building, and pinch pots, as well as beginning to learn pottery wheel skills; all while letting their creativity run wild. By the end of the class, students will not only have a collection of unique, personalized pieces but also a deeper knowledge of the craft, building a strong foundation to continue developing their ceramic skills in future classes.
The class is designed for all skill levels, so whether it’s your child’s first time working with clay or they’ve already joined in classes with us, there’s always plenty more to learn and create. The realm of ceramics offers endless possibilities!
Details:
1.5 hours per week, for 8 weeks

Let’s get messy and have fun making art!
Due to the time extensive process of ceramics not all pieces will be finished by the last day of class. We will send an email notice within a couple of weeks of the class ending to let you know when pieces are ready for pick up.
*Please do not send your artist to class if they have any cold/flu symptoms (exhibiting, but not limited to cough, runny nose, sore throat, fever (temp of 100.4 +), shortness of breath, vomiting and/or diarrhea, or chills). Students who arrive or become ill at the studio will be sent home as soon as possible and will be isolated until pick-up.
*Please feel free to accompany your artist to check-in/check-out (and peek your head into see the space), but this is a drop-off class; only students and staff are permitted to stay in the studio during class time. We know that many of our younger artists may be a bit anxious at first, and in those circumstances we welcome you to come into the entry way to check in with them, there is a bench outside if you would like to be able to watch.
