Calling all creative kids! With pre-rolled clay slabs ready to go, students will cut and shape their own ceramic conversation hearts using cookie cutters and simple handbuilding tools. They’ll have access to individual alphabet letters, allowing them to arrange and stamp any word or name they choose—from initials to fun phrases to totally original creations. Each heart will include a small clay hook added at the top, making it easy to hang on a wall, locker, door knob, or display peg.
After the workshop, we’ll bisque fire all the pieces. Kids can return as soon as the following week—by appointment to paint their finished hearts with watercolor, choosing soft pastels, bold pops of color, or anything in between. A fun, creative piece of art they can proudly hang and enjoy!

Instructor: Missy Hitch
What began as a single ceramics class quickly became a creative obsession for Missy Hitch. She soon found herself spending countless hours in the studio, exploring, learning, and refining her craft. After a decade of working with clay, she became a ceramics instructor at Prairie Arts Center, where she now teaches hand-building and beginning wheel classes.
Missy specializes in creating functional everyday pieces like mugs, baking dishes, and teapots, but she also enjoys crafting decorative work. She has led a wide range of workshops on projects such as yarn bowls, decorative plates, Valentine gnomes, and whimsical chickens. Over the years, she has gathered a wealth of techniques and tricks, which she loves sharing with her students to make pottery both fun and accessible. Whether at the wheel or in the classroom, Missy finds joy in helping others discover the magic of clay.
