Under the Sea Clay Creatures
Youth Summer Camp | Registration opens 1/22/2025 9:00 AM EST
Draw inspiration from nautical myths and legends and create your own creatures with their very own lore. Come to the clay studio to try many different ways to build with clay and illustrate a short story to document the legends of your own mythical creatures!
- This class uses air-dry clay, so work can be taken home on Friday.
Claudia Meyer
Claudia is an artist and object-maker living and working in Richmond, VA primarily working in clay and paper media. She graduated from Virginia Commonwealth University with a BFA in Sculpture + Extended Media in 2020. Her handbuilt works in clay, although they are made of hardened earth, feel soft to the touch. Their colors are as jovial and earthly as bursting laughter. These objects emit energy through their whimsical forms and patterns. She learns from the way that the moon and the trees wave to each other and the deep knowledge rooted in the earth and our bodies.
Through her teaching, she aims to democratize the classroom space, leveling the student/teacher relationship to one of reciprocity rather than authority. Her students learn just as much from the world around them as they do from each other. In her classroom, Claudia exists as a guide for her creative students' journeys and she endeavors to teach her students limitlessness in their creative pursuits.
