This fun ceramics course introduces youth ages 6-9 to the many possibilities of clay. The instructor will demonstrate different techniques while allowing students time to explore and play with clay.
Students will progress through learning and practicing forming techniques such as pinch pots, coiling, and wheel throwing. They will learn about attachments, textures, and painting with underglaze. An example project for each technique will be provided, but students are encouraged to follow their interests and designs. Throughout the class, students will work on their observation and problem-solving skills while having fun and building friendships.
No prior clay experience is necessary. All materials and tools will be provided, and the course includes bisque and glaze firings. Students should wear clothes that can get dirty. You may also bring an apron. Guardians, please plan to arrive 5-10 mins before each class to sign your student(s) in. Students also need to be signed out before leaving.
Youth Scholarships are made possible by funding from the PARC Foundation. Apply here!
