Handbuilding with Clay: Ceramic Animal Art 8/4-8 Week 7
Youth Class | Available
This class is about making art for humans and animals to enjoy! Participants will learn basic clay skills (hand building, using slump molds, glazing) and paper-making techniques to create 3 unique projects for pets and wild animals to play on, live in, and/or eat. In creating our sculptures students will learn a bit about animal habitat use and conservation in our local environment.
- Reduced tuition on youth classes requires a family membership. For a full-day program, a morning class may be combined with an afternoon class. Supervised "bridge" care is available for these students, between 12-1PM, for an additional $40 per week.
