Pottery – Ages 6-11 – CLAY FEST! with Jenn Reed
Monday, July 5 through Thursday, July 8 • 9:00 am – 11:30 pm
(4 Days)

Members – $160 (includes materials)
Non-Members – $175 (includes materials)

Students will hand build 3D creations of their own vision. Some possibilities are bowls, boxes with lids, vessels and sculptural creatures or structures. Once you learn some basic clay rules and how to build, the possibilities are endless. Experimentation with ideas, texture, tools and form is encouraged. A class or two will allow for some wheel throwing opportunities and fun.

Regular clay and underglazes (Clay Paint) will be used to enhance your creations. The Ceramic Studio Tech will glaze the work and fire it.

Working with clay helps develop problem-solving and fine motor skills, and encourages imagination, initiative, and curiosity.

All materials and firing included. Come ready to get muddy. Students will have a whole lot of fun and be creative.
