New!
New! Clay Fish Dish (all ages)
Finish off the school year with a school of Fish Dishes! In this lesson we will focus on pinching and attaching techniques to sculpt a classroom full of unique fish dishes! Clay pieces can be painted once dry.
New! Clay Flower Pot (all ages)
Inspired by a Summer Garden, in this workshop we will build unique flower shaped pots! We will begin by building a pinch pot and then sculpt clay to form petals, attach our flower center, and finish it off by carving unique designs and details. Clay pieces can be painted once dry.
New! Forest Friends Animal Bowl (all ages)
Let’s learn to build a pinch pot which we will then transform into an animal head by attaching ears and carving facial features and textures. Bears, foxes or wherever your imagination takes you through the forest! Clay pieces can be painted once dry.
