Join us for an afternoon of fun and art-making with your family!

In this special family class, children and their adults will work together on a hand-built Valentine’s Day-themed clay project. Pieces can be decorated with textures, designs, and painted with underglaze.

We will then fire and glaze all pieces and let you know when they are ready for pickup, about 2 weeks later. This is a fun way to give handmade gifts or have beautiful decorations for your home that last a lifetime!

All materials included.

For children ages 4+

Bring your kid(s), family, and friends! Each attendee must register separately.

The Family Clay Class is a great opportunity for children to work together with an adult to make hand-built pottery!

Students will learn a variety of hand-building techniques, using tools, textures, stamps, and molds. Instructor will lead students in both functional and sculptural pottery projects and students will paint each finished piece with colored slips. Emphasis is on working on a project as a family. This is a fun class, built around community and creativity!

Please note registration is for 1 child and their adult. If you have more family members that want to get involved, please send an email to registration-clay@groundworksartlab.org!
