I think this class was the highlight in our kids art series so far! Who does not love getting their hands into cool damp clay? We printed leaf patterns from leaves we had collected outdoors, and shaped the clay into pinch pots, beads and other shapes - the kids let their imaginations run wild. We used air dry clay, which is a little bit more fragile when dried, but it is so easy to work with that it makes a quick satisfying project for little hands. They could choose to paint it later at home.
The older group of our kids also worked with wooden stamps to print beautiful patterns for necklace pendants or ornaments. They could have easily spent several hours working on their projects! Seeing the enthusiasm from all the kids, we will include clay work in our next round of art classes for sure.
New classes start January 15, 2017 - and
registration is available here.
