Hand Building: Landscapes of Clay 4-week class, ages 8-12

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 - Landscapes of Clay: Exploring Nature + Ceramics w/Kat Chavez

How might clay help us understand the natural landscapes and living beings that surround us? In this hand building class, students will explore textures, shapes, and forms found in plants, animals, and landscapes. Techniques like coil building, cyanotype printing, collage, and slab construction will be taught. Participants will observe, sketch, collect found objects, and transform ideas into tangible artwork, deepening their connection with nature while developing their artistic abilities.

This class meets once a week from 11am-1pm, on Sundays June 1, 8, 15, and 22, in the AMOCA Ceramics Studio

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