Ceramics for Kids
It's like playing in the mud – only better! Young artists will use their hands and their imagination to create bowls, mugs, lanterns, masks, plates, animals, boxes, and more. They'll learn basic hand-building techniques while shaping, sculpting, and decorating their own one-of-a-kind creations. Dress for play – things might get a little messy! All materials are included.
Capacity: 12 students. Minimum: 6 students. Ages: 6–12.
Nancy Sontich-Lenhart guides students through hand-building, wheel throwing, and glazing in a supportive, hands-on ceramics studio.
Bring the family for a hands-on workshop where we turn simple clay into holiday magic. We'll use cookie cutters, stamps, and our own two hands to craft ornaments that are as unique as your family. It's messy, it's fun, and you'll leave with beautiful, handmade treasures ready to hang on the tree.
Capacity: 20 students. Minimum: 8 students.
