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.
