Homeschool Clay Class

Friday 11pm-1pm

A hands-on, creative pottery class designed just for homeschool students ages 10 and up! Over 4 weeks, students explore clay techniques while building confidence, creativity, and community in a supportive studio environment.

What We’ll Learn:
• Clay fundamentals: wedging, handbuilding, shaping forms
• Creative techniques: sculpting, texture, carving, and surface design
• Glazing: applying color and finishes to bisque-fired pieces
• Studio care: respecting tools, space, and shared materials
• Intro to wheel throwing when students are ready and focused

What’s Included:
✔ Clay, tools, glazes, and firing
✔ Step-by-step instruction and individual guidance
✔ Small-group setting for focused learning
✔ Cleanup and studio responsibility time built in

Class Experience:
• 1.5 hours of guided instruction + 30 minutes cleanup/community time
• Create both functional and sculptural ceramic pieces
• Return to glaze and take home finished work
• Emphasis on exploration and enjoying the process over perfection

Who It’s For:
Homeschool students ages 10+ interested in hands-on art, creative problem solving, and working with their hands in a calm, welcoming studio environment.

What to Bring:
Wear clothes that can get a little messy. Clay washes out, but we like to play.
