This is a year long class. I created this class thinking about all of the events I participated in growing up in school and wanting to provide a similar experience for our homeschoolers, In this "class" every week I will have a fun activity prepared for the kids, so they can talk, play and make friends. I will provide a light and usually healthy snack. Some of the activities we have had in the past include: Show and tell, trivia day, field day, dance party, scavenger hunt, treasure hunt and so much more. Come join us! Fun is guaranteed!
The goal of this class is to build knowledge and confidence in the kitchen, providing our young learners with age-appropriate skills and recipes that they can do at least mostly on their own. Kitchen and food safety will be taught, along with a little science. There will be a variety of recipes, from sweet to savory, and most require no heat, though for some we will be melting ingredients. If your child has allergies, please let me know as I should be able to accommodate for that.
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. *Three and Four-year-old students need to be accompanied by a parent or sibling age 12 and up, Five year old’s may be dropped off. The class will touch on sculptural and functional wares over the course of our 16 weeks together.
Requirements:
Students ages 4 and under must be accompanied by someone age 12 and up. Supervising attendees may choose to pay the supply fee too if they want to make projects alongside their student.
In this class we will work on basic reading, writing, and counting skills to set a good foundation for our learning in the years to come. Every class will entail a story where we practice our sight words, we practice our writing with activities for strengthening fine motor skills, and of course a fun counting activity. We will end the class with some free play.
Through read-aloud stories, guided projects, and creative clay play, students will explore the foundations of hand-building with clay including pinch pots, coils, sculpting, slip and score, and more. This tactile medium encourages fine motor skills, hand-eye coordination, and attention to detail while creating both sculptural and functional pieces, which are microwave and dishwasher-safe. Projects range from single-day creations to multi-week works of art. Each term features new projects, with favorite projects only occasionally revisited every few years.
Requirements:
This class is a good fit for students who work well in a multi-sensory environment as the studio is alive with sights, smells, and sounds, sometimes simultaneously; all while having their hands in lots of clay and water. All supplies, consumable and shared are provided with the supply fee for this class.
