Kid's Metalsmithing Classes

These classes offer young people the opportunity to work with different metals and beads to create jewelry or small sculptures.  Different cold connection techniques as well as soldering will be taught.  Students will leave this class familiar with the metalsmithing studio and bringing home their own creations. Friday 3:30-5

Kid's Clay Classes

Students aged 6-15 work on the potter’s wheel learning to center clay, throw pots in various forms, and decorate and glaze their pieces.  Hand building techniques will also be explored.  Our experienced teachers will explain all steps of the clay process and encourage individual creativity at all ability levels.  Eight-week sessions allow lots of time for producing work, and the last day is Glaze Day.
