Tell a story using clay as your medium. Children will explore clay and its properties of expression to aid in the development of storytelling and create an original photo journal/sketchbook of their work over the week. Please note, clay pieces will not be fired as they are tools being used in the evolution of the story. The tuition for this class includes a fee of $15 for basic materials provided by CAW. 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.
