Teen Clay Class
Explore the world of ceramics in our 3-week hands-on clay class! Teens will apply skills like slab building, and coil construction to create both functional and sculptural pieces. Throughout the process, they will experiment with different textures, forms, and surface treatments, while refining their understanding of balance, proportion, and design principles. Once their creations are shaped, students will explore various glazing techniques, learning about the chemical properties of ceramics and how the firing process transforms their work.
The Benefits of Clay
Working with clay provides teens with a calming, creative outlet for emotional expression. The process helps reduce stress and encourages mindfulness, while also building confidence through problem-solving and personal accomplishment. Creating art in a supportive group setting fosters connection and a sense of belonging, offering a gentle way to explore and express emotions.
