Kids can choose to work on the potter’s wheel or hand build with clay using coils, slabs or molds. Working on the potter’s wheel is more of an experience at first. Learning the skills to use the wheel can be hard but exciting. We encourage students to enjoy the experience, more than focus on a finished project. When hand building with clay a student can come in with a project idea like a mug, bowl, or even sculpture and finish their project in the hour. At the end of class students will choose their favorite 1-2 pieces of their art to be bisque fired, and glazed by the instructor. Pottery will be ready approximately 2–4 weeks after the class.

Start with no plan. Think about 3 or 4 colors & composition. Gather your rich watercolors, water, & a large brush. Now, begin. We don’t know what the outcome will be but we’re excited about the possibilities. Before starting, the piece will be marked off with tape. Now add rich colors allowing them to blend & run. Then, more color until it's just right! Then it dries. (You might create another while the other is drying.) Pull out those markers or crayons to add more texture & structure. Stenciling will be added using acrylic metallic paints & a small brush or sponge. Done. Good work! All artistic levels welcome.

In this class we will use frisket paper to keep our whale intact as we pour the sky, clouds and ocean. We will use swipe technique as well as some traditional painting techniques for fine details of our whale. We will also splatter for splashing ocean as well. Each step you will be given options for how to proceed to make the painting your own and how you prefer. Often paintings are left overnight at the center to dry. No experience necessary.
