Classes meet once a week. KidSculpt students explore the essential elements of handbuilding with terra cotta clay. Once dry, artwork is decorated using colorful underglazes & fired to completion. KidsWheel introduces students to the basics of throwing pottery on the wheel. Design and decorate cups, bowls, plates, bright additions for your table top and cupboard! A small reminder: Students should be prepared to share wheels as enrollment varies.

The Clay Center wants all children who would benefit from art programs to participate in Clay Center programs, and therefore welcomes contributions from the community to support scholarships and financial aid.
