YOUTH CLAY CLUBS 

In our Youth Clay Clubs, our focus is primarily to help children build a strong relationship between themselves and the clay studio space by establishing an art practice. Teachers will demonstrate proper clay techniques and teach how to create clay that is useable and will fire without cracking or breaking.  However, clay is tricky, and teachers will give students the time and the space to be creative and learn from their mistakes.  Teachers will accept the artistic choices that a student makes, acknowledge their creative process, and speak to them about their art practice to both enrich and challenge their work.  These classes take place in our Clay Studio at TAC and will include hand-building and wheel throwing.

Clay Club will help your child to develop basic potter and ceramic skills. Our classes are also designed to engage both your child's visual thinking and critical thinking skills, as they discover their own artistic process, become comfortable with making independent choices in the studio, build their skills to create increasingly complex works of art, and most of all have fun.

Clay Club classes are offered monthly, you can sign-up for any month, no prior experience necessary!
