Clay
Handbuilding- ages 7 & up
This hands-on immersion into the world of clay is the perfect introduction to carving, sculpting, connecting, pinching, squishing, shaping and decorating. Throughout this course, we will build each week for greater and greater knowledge of the ceramic arts. Students will be able to glaze and bring home several pieces of their creation upon the completion of six fun-filled weeks. We will explore form and function, texture, structural integrity and harmony in addition to the changing properties of clay. This introductory course is the perfect springboard for more advanced classes and a rewarding relationship with clay.

Printmaking - ages 7 & up

Students will have the opportunity to print on a number of surfaces to create projects such as posters, greeting cards, t-shirts and tote bags. Students will be encouraged to personalize their projects and will leave with multiple artworks to both keep and share!
