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! Tuition for this class includes a fee of $20 for materials provided by CAW. School Policies Students who withdraw 48 hours prior to the first class are eligible for a refund

Term: Fall 2025

Suggested Ages: 8 - 12

Exploring Paper Lithography

In person

Maura Galante

Also known as Xerox transfer, paper lithography is a variation of traditional lithography and relies on the play of oil and water on paper. It offers an immediate and non-toxic printmaking process that can incorporate photography, digital designs, and hand drawn illustrations. Plates can be made using an everyday laser printer or copier, then reworked or added to with a variety of tools like ballpoint pens, crayons and markers. The plate is then inked with oil-based ink and run through a press. Image embellishments will include Chine collé, monotype techniques, and hand coloring. First-time printers as well as artists with photography and drawing experience will enjoy this workshop. The tuition for this class includes a materials fee of $10. 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.
