Clay for Kids:
Watch your child flourish! Clay play enhances neurological development, encourages artistic expression, and develops kinesethic coordination; all things Mom mom wants for her child. Imagine the pride in your child's face as he or she sups from a vessel of his or her own making. Classes offer personal attention and gentle instruction from a seasoned teacher. What could be better but sharing the experience alongside your child? Mold not only a mug, but your child's heart with a "Mommy and me class".
***Due to loft space, a maximum of two children accompanied by an adult.***
Recommended age for a bowl is six and up. A mug with a handle requires a longer attention span, and a responsible understanding of safety. Therefore, the age of ten is suggested; but open to discussion.
One hour session for kids to create and "paint" their pot includes supplies and two firings.
$30 for one child
$45 for two children or child and adult.
Considerations for a pleasant pottery experience:
Please be advised, there is a set of stairs to access the pottery loft, Our apologies if this presents a hinderance.
The loft does not offer a restroom. Guests are welcome to use the restroom in the house. It is a short walk.
Wear your old, comfortable clothes. Aprons are available, or bring your own,
If you are going to take your pottery seriously, trimmed nails are advised,
Patience please! In an instamatic world, clay reorients us to the unhurried rhythms of nature. Drying times cannot be rushed without consequence. Be patient with yourself. Learning the feel takes time. Also, I will communicate as promptly as possible, but like you, I juggle many hats. Patience please!
Stuff happens. Clay cracks. Glazes don't always turn out like the recipe you saw on pintrist. Happy potters are those who say, "Oh well, I'll try again."
Happy we are. Perfect we're not. Please be kind.
Please do not engage the farm animals unaccompanied. If a gate is closed, or open, it's for a reason.
