Spring into creativity and invite students to experiment with clay texture and shapes as they learn basic clay building skills. Students will be introduced to coils, pinch pots and slabs as they hand build fun figures from their imagination. Each class will focus on a different technique, and students will have the opportunity to paint and glaze their mini masterpieces! Due to drying and firing times, pottery will be ready for pick up 10-12 days after class has ended.
