Adventures in Clay

In person

Veronica Korneyeva

Explore the creative possibilities of clay by shaping and molding it into one-of-a-kind works of art. Each week, young artists will create a specific project including bowls, animal figurines, and masks. Our team will fire each clay masterpiece and they will all be ready to take home by the end of the class. Some pieces will also be glazed by the students and fired a second time, resulting in beautifully colored pieces. Clay can spark imagination, encourage children to think creatively and express themselves in new ways. It can also help young people develop fine motor skills, hand-eye coordination, and emotional expression through hands-on activities. Perfect for budding artists and future ceramicists, this is more than just a creative experience—it’s the beginning of a handmade collection to be proud of!

Brief Stories, Whole Lives: A Memoir Workshop

Zay Amsbury

We often think our stories need breadth to matter—years catalogued, chapters accumulated. But what if one incident, rendered with enough attention and honesty, could hold everything? In this one-day workshop, we’ll use imagery and prose poetry to expand a brief anecdote from your life into something larger than itself: a portrait that pulses with all you’ve been and all you carry. Come ready to linger in the particular until the universal opens up. Leave with a short memoir that refuses to be small. Taught by Zay Amsbury, Chair of the Creative Writing Department at the California State Summer School for the Arts, this workshop draws on Zay’s 20-plus years of experience helping writers discover their authentic voices and push creative boundaries. School Policies Students who withdraw 48 hours prior to the first class are eligible for a refund or credit toward another class, less a $25 registration fee. Please click here for more details.
