Handbuilding with Clay: Ceramic Animal Art 8/4-8 Week 7
Youth Class | This class has been canceled
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.
