AMOCA's youth classes offer children an opportunity to dive into new artistic skills in our ceramic studio. These classes are great for those who haven’t had the opportunity to try their hands at clay. For those looking for a true ceramic experience in a professional ceramic studio this is the program for YOU!

Animal Heads: Clay Worskhop w/Michelle Solorzano

Join ceramic artist Michelle Solorzano for a fun and hands-on two-day workshop exploring
animal forms in clay. Participants will learn how to construct a hollow sculpture using slab and
coil-building techniques. Using reference images and sketches showing the front, side, and back
views of your chosen animal, you'll translate your 2D ideas into dynamic 3D forms.

In addition to building, students will create their own sprig molds—small, reusable decorative
elements that can be used to add texture and embellishments to the surface of their sculptures.

This class meets from 10am-2pm, on July 12 & 13, in the AMOCA Ceramics Studio

Class fee includes materials, firings, and a light snack.
