Clay Cup Studio (Older Kids)
Tuesdays (FULL)

We’ll design and build a set of mugs, cups or goblets for everyone to bring home and share in their family kitchen. A good drink needs a good cup, don’t you think? All pieces will be finished with non-toxic glazes. (No class on April 16)
Out of this World Art
Wednesdays
April 10, 24, May 1, 8, 15
Inspiration for this class will come from imaginary creatures and unknown worlds! Kids will unleash their imaginations to create unique works of art inspired by aliens, monsters and robots using a variety of materials such as collage, paint, found objects, and more!
Session 2
Clay in the Garden
Mondays (FULL)
Mondays: May 13, 20, June 3, 10, 17
With spring right around the corner, we’ll shift our focus to art we can appreciate outdoors and in the garden. Using clay, a few simple tools, and our imaginations, we’ll design and build fairy houses, toad abodes, and other unique structures to give shelter to our small friends in the garden, both real and imaginary. (No class on May 27)

Wednesdays: May 22, May 27, June 5, 12, 19
