Our popular and quickly growing Junior Ceramics Guild is back this year for kids ages 9+ who have taken at least one ceramics class, and have experience working with clay.
ten weeks $150 + the cost of clay
The goal of this ten week workshop is to allow kids to access the studio in a different way, guiding each other as they learn and develop new skills with the help of Jr. Ceramics instructor Valerie Wynder.
Jr. Guild Members will have the opportunity to experiment with using specific types of glazes or underglazes, and using the wheel or hand-building. Each semester kids get to grow their skills and work on the projects that interest them the most! This workshop gives the opportunity for a bit more independence and prepares young potters for a future in the studio.
