Join us for fun, hands-on Saturday Youth Clay Classes, designed for kids ages 8-14! Each month, students will explore different hand-building techniques to create a unique clay project. No prior experience with clay is needed. After the workshop, projects will be bisque-fired and ready for painting, glazing, or pick-up as early as the following week. 

Join us for a creative and beginner-friendly stamp making class! We will guide you through the process of designing and carving your own custom stamps. Each student will receive a 4 x 6-inch piece of stamp carving material to create whatever they like—you can design one large stamp perfect for printing on postcards or choose to cut it into smaller sections to make a variety of mini stamps. You will learn how to safely carve your designs, transfer images, and properly take care of your stamps.

Discover the art of hand building in this beginner-friendly class, perfect for those who want to explore the tactile and creative possibilities of working with clay—no wheel required! Under the guidance of a professional ceramic artist, you’ll learn the foundational techniques of pinching, coiling, and slab construction. Throughout the course, you’ll work on instructor-designed projects that highlight each of these techniques and help you develop and refine your skills step by step. All students will work on the same projects at the same pace, ensuring a cohesive learning experience and plenty of opportunities to ask questions and receive personalized feedback.
