If you're between the ages of 5 and 10 and ready for a hands-on adventure, join the Clay Explorers Jr. crew! Guided by an experienced instructor over four fun-filled Saturdays, we'll dive deep into different ceramic techniques, turning raw, soft clay into four incredible, finished projects you get to keep.
Your Expedition Checklist (What You'll Create):
Adventure Stop 1: Slab Bowls: Hidden Designs-It’s what’s on the inside that counts! After draping their clay slabs over molds, our artists are "inking" the interiors with custom cut-out designs. By pressing shapes directly into the clay, they’re creating beautiful, recessed patterns that will pop once the glaze hits.
Adventure Stop 2: Coil Critters: Life in a Shell-We’re "rolling" with it! By spiraling long clay snakes, our young artists are building sturdy, swirling shells for their favorite slow-moving friends. Whether it's a garden snail or a cozy hermit crab, these critters show off just how much personality you can pack into a perfectly coiled home.
Adventure Stop 3: Pinch Pots: Small Pots, Big Ideas-It all starts with a thumb and a squeeze! Our potters are mastering the ancient art of the pinch pot, transforming simple spheres into organic vessels. Whether they’re crafting a tiny planter for a succulent or a custom holder for their lucky coins, it’s all about the "feel" of the clay.
Adventure Stop 4: Funny Face Planters: Personality Included-
By the end of the course, each student will have completed one-of-a-kind
ceramic pieces, gaining confidence in their hand building skills and a deeper
appreciation for working with clay. This class provides a supportive and inspiring
environment where young artists can learn, play, and explore with clay!
Grab your spot on the team! All clay, tools, glazes, and firing costs are included. Keep in mind that clay is messy when selecting your outfit of the day!
