AMOCA's youth classes offer children and teens 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!

Wheel Lab, ages 12-16

Join one of AMOCA’s teaching artists for a 1-day wheel throwing lab, where youth ages 12-16 are invited to try their hand at the wheel and learn the steps to make their own pottery. With our introductory wheel lab, students will receive step-by-step instruction to open the door to ceramics with the paid option to return to the studio to receive a mini-glaze workshop and fire their work.

We ask all parents of children in our kids and teens pottery classes to stay to supervise - we do not allow drop offs. We are sure you will enjoy watching them or participating in the fun!

Note: If you wish to fire the pottery you create, at the end of class you may opt to pay a $35 fee to cover glaze and firing services. An optional glaze workshop will be held later in the month.
