Clay Wheel Throwing

Your child will dive into pottery on the wheel during this hands-on class at Valley Art Center. Young artists will master foundational techniques like centering and shaping clay, then move on to combining forms and adding color with underglazes to personalize their work. By the end of the session, each student will have created their own collection of ceramic pieces to take home. This class is designed for kids ages 10 through 13 and runs weekly through early December. Sessions meet in the late afternoon, so plan for your child to wear clothes that can handle getting clay-covered. Once their pieces are fired, you'll receive an email letting you know when they're ready for pickup. It's a great way for young artists to build new skills and leave with something they've made themselves.
