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. 

March Saturday Youth Clay Class: Hand Dish Creations

In this fun, hands-on workshop, kids (ages 8-14) will create their own unique ceramic hand dish! Whether they design it as a spoon rest, trinket dish, or soap dish, their handmade piece will be both functional and one-of-a-kind. After shaping and adding details, their creations will be bisque-fired and glazed with a color of their choosing, ready for pick up in two weeks. No experience needed—just bring your creativity!

Instructor:
Missy Hitch After nearly 20 years of working various administrative positions at OSU, Missy Hitch took a ceramics class and instantly fell in love with it.  When she's not following her teenage daughter around to bowling tournaments, she spends her time in the studio where she gets the opportunity to learn, explore, and create works of art.  After 5 years of working with clay, Missy became a ceramics instructor at Prairie Arts Center where she teaches hand building and beginning wheel classes.  Her focus as a maker is on building every day functional pieces like mugs, baking dishes, and teapots but she also makes decorative pieces and has led various workshops on ceramic projects, such as holiday gnomes and nativity scenes.  Over the years, Missy has learned some tips and tricks, which she happily shares with her students to make pottery fun and exciting.
