Our Summer Pottery Club is a creative week-long program where children explore ceramics through hand-building, decoration, and functional design. Each child creates their own unique ceramic pieces to take home (after firing).
Children will learn new skills while building fine motor coordination through hands-on clay work, developing focus and patience, and exploring their creativity. Guided projects and group activities encourage planning, decision-making, and self-expression.
