Mini Artists classes are held from 4-5PM for children 3-5 years old. Each session is $15 and includes all required materials.
Creating Surfaces/ Narratives and Mark Making in Clay
Sgraffito, Mishima, water etching, underglaze application, colored slip application, carving, stamps and roulettes. In this class, students will learn and experiment with various surface techniques to create patterns, marks or narratives on clay. Clay experience recommended, but not required.
Wheel Throwing Kids
Learn the basics of the potter’s wheel and make clay creations like cups, plates, and bowls. Kids can advance to additional wheel-thrown designs after just a few sessions. This class is designed for kids ages 8-12.
Handbuilding in Clay Session 1
The beauty of hand-built ceramics arises in the freedom of form. Captivating asymmetry and unique sculptural form can be achieved using techniques like slab rolling and coil building. We will learn the skills and techniques needed to create functional and sculptural vessels, finishing with carved patterns, attached elements, underglazes, and glazes to decorate our hand-built pieces.
Watercolor Skies Workshop
Discover how to paint a variety of skies in one day; billowing cumulus clouds, simple wispy cirrus clouds, and a colorful sunrise or sunset. With dominant skies, we’ll include just a little bit of landscape in each painting so you’ll also learn about mixing a variety of greens, capturing the essence of a scene and other fun tips. Bonus images provided to choose from.
