We will engage your student’s imagination through read aloud stories and coordinating projects. Alternating between guided projects and ‘free play” clay. Students will be guided through the basics of clay sculpture, pinch pots, coil making, slip and score and more. This tactile medium will be used to help cultivate fine motor skills, hand eye coordination, attention to detail and storytelling. Artwork will range from a small, guided projects completed in one day and projects that may take two or more sessions to complete. The class will explore both sculptural and functional wares over the course of our 16 weeks together.
