This 6-session after school class is perfect for kids who love to make art, work with their hands, and dive into deep creative exploration. Led by teaching artist Rachael Hudson, students will learn a range of ceramic techniques including pinching, coiling, slab-building, and even get a chance to try the pottery wheel! We’ll also explore the history of pottery, the geology of clay, and play fun and engaging games along the way.

Finished work will be ready approximately 4 weeks after class. Your teacher will contact you via email when it’s ready. Please note: pieces must be picked up within 4 weeks of that email. Unclaimed work will be donated to Byrdie’s Free Pottery Box.
