Hand Building: Characters & Creatures, ages 9-11

AMOCA's youth classes offer children an opportunity to dive into new artistic skills in our ceramic studio. These classes are great for those children 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!

Hand Building - Creatures & Characters w/Aida Lugo - Ages 8-11

In this 4-week youth hand building class led by AMOCA teaching artist Aida Lugo, students will learn how to hand build characters and creatures. Using inspiration from media inspired characters and nature, students will work from reference images to create figurative sculptures along with adding details and color. Come to class with inspiration for a character or creature you want to make or use your imagination to invent something from out of this world.

This class meets once a week from 11am-1pm, on Sundays, September 7, 14, 21, & 28, in the AMOCA Ceramics Studio.
