Magical Creatures in Clay (Ages 9 – 11) – New!
Youth After School | Registration opens 11/5/2025 9:00 AM EST
Learn hand building techniques and make a dragon out of clay. Craft a fantasy creature of your own design—and even make a goblet fit for an elf!
- Students will be asked to provide sketches of their ideas.
Accessibility notes: In youth art classes, many artmaking processes involve (age-appropriate) fine motor skills, physical strength, vision, and ability to sit or stand for extended periods of time. VisArts values making classes accessible to everyone, and is always happy to work with students to make accommodations when possible. Please reach out to info@visarts.org with specific questions related to accessibility or accommodations.
Classes are confirmed one week prior to the start date. In order to help us confirm classes, please register as early as possible.
- All materials are provided. There is no materials list for this class.
