About This Activity
Get ready to explore the exciting world of ceramics! If you're between the ages of 8 and 16 and ready for a hands-on adventure, join the Clay Explorers crew! Guided by an experienced instructor over four fun-filled Saturdays, we'll dive deep into different ceramic techniques, turning raw, soft clay into four incredible, finished projects you get to keep. Your Expedition Checklist (What You'll Create): Adventure Stop 1: The Smooth Start (Slip-Cast Tumblers) We're jumping right into advanced techniques! You'll get hands-on with liquid clay (slip) to create a perfectly smooth, professional-grade Tumbler using our special molds. Learn the secret of ceramic casting on day one! Adventure Stop 2: Love & Lattes (Valentine's Mugs) Master the essential skills of mug building and handle pulling! You'll hand-build and decorate a custom Mug, perfect for gifting to a friend or family member for Valentine's Day—or just for keeping yourself! Adventure Stop 3: Play Your Tunes (Ceramic Speaker) Get technical and creative! Learn how to shape clay to create a unique, acoustic Speaker that amplifies the sound from your phone (no wires needed!). It's art and engineering combined. Adventure Stop 4: Game On! (Tic-Tac-Toe Board) For our final project, you'll design and build a playable, decorative Tic-Tac-Toe Board complete with custom clay X's and O's. We'll finish up by adding dazzling glazes to all four projects! By the end of the course, each student will have completed one-of-a-kind ceramic pieces, gaining confidence in their hand building skills and a deeper appreciation for working with clay. This class provides a supportive and inspiring environment where young artists can learn, play, and explore the limitless possibilities of ceramics. Grab your spot on the team!
