Art Explorers: Ceramics - Thursdays After School (3-5): Fall II
Calling Art Explorers grades 3-5! Let's get creative with clay! In this after school class, young artists will explore clay through handbuilding, surface design, and glazing techniques to create original ceramic pieces. This ceramics-focused day offers expanded opportunities for clay work within our established Art Explorers program, while still providing group and individual instruction. All supplies included. Resident students will be chaperoned and shuttled from Moreland Hills Elementary to the Art Center. Student artwork must be picked up within two weeks of the session ending. After that, unclaimed work may be discarded. No class November 26.
