Functional Handbuilding— Ages 6 and up Young artists dig into clay with their hands, their imaginations, and curiosity. This foundational handbuilding class introduces kids to the basics of working with clay — pinching, rolling, texturing, and shaping — while building confidence through hands-on exploration. Projects rotate throughout the session, giving kids a variety of ways to practice new skills while expressing their own ideas. Instruction is playful and encouraging, with plenty of room for imagination alongside technique. What they'll learn: basic handbuilding techniques, tactile exploration, imaginative design, and the patience of watching a project come together over several weeks. What to bring: clothes that can get dirty — we provide everything else!
