What can you make with clay? Let’s brainstorm together and explore. We will begin by sketching - shapes and lines become the inspiration for your piece. Next we will discover techniques and methods to create though play the possibilities of clay.

Children are given the freedom to create just about anything from clay and, in doing so, will learn how to process all their ideas into one tangible piece of art.
