Saturday Youth Clay Classes

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.

Clay Art Academy

This special, clay-only Art Academy is for 11-14 year old students who want an immersive clay experience. Throughout the six-week session, Clay Art Academy students will learn and practice foundational skills in handbuilding and glazing. At least three projects will be finished each six-week session and students can expect to make both functional and decorative pieces. Due to the nature of the medium and the high temperature fires, student work is occasionally damaged or a loss. We use these rare instances to teach students resilience and persistence. We do not offer make up classes.

Everyone Loves Animals! Spring Break Art Camp

This year's Spring Break Camp will be a non-stop celebration of our love for animals! Humans have been expressing their connection to the animal kingdom through art and storytelling since the very beginning of recorded history. In this four day camp, we will explore some of the stories and artworks that feature our four legged, finned, or feathered friends and make works, both 2D and 3D, that celebrate our lasting connection to them. We will begin our week with a very special visit to the OSU Museum of Art for a permanent collection vault viewing to see animal inspired works up close and personal!

Youth Pottery - October

Students will explore the various ways of creating functional and sculptural objects by learning different hand-building techniques: slabs, coils, and glazing will be studied. Each session is two weeks long, first week students focus on building, the second week will focus on glazing. Each session will offer a different opportunity to create allowing students to take multiple sessions as their schedules permit.
