About This Activity
Hand-build your own clay wind chime and learn some of the science of ceramics. In this hands-on, three-part series held on Saturdays 9/12, 9/19 & 9/26, participants will explore the four classical elements — Wind, Earth, Fire, and Water — through the art of ceramics. Using slab techniques and cookie cutters, teens will hand-build their own wind chime pieces, then return to glaze and finally assemble their kiln-fired creations. For this age group, the curriculum goes a step further, introducing kiln temperatures, the chemistry of glazes, and how different minerals produce color. Participants must attend all three Saturday sessions to complete their piece. About the Collaboration This workshop is a partnership between MudHut Ceramics Studio, a Fort Bragg ceramics studio founded in 2024, and Flockworks, a nonprofit that has brought free, accessible arts programming to the Mendocino Coast for over fifteen years.
