Clay & Create: A Ceramics Collaboration with Forma
The Art Nest is partnering with Forma for a hands-on ceramics series for ages 4-6.
~Intro Class-October 6, 3:30-5:00pm ($45/child): A first taste of clay and the pottery wheel. One spot left!
~4 Week Series-October 13-Nov 3, 3:30-5:00pm ($170/child): Designed for little hands and big imaginations—students build on their skills each week, creating a hand-built project from start to finish while learning to shape, texture, decorate, and glaze. One class also introduces the pottery wheel, giving everyone a chance to try throwing clay. No experience needed—just a willingness to get a little messy and create!
~One-Class Workshops-Nov 10 & Nov 17, 3:30-5:00pm ($45/child): A fun clay session before the holidays.
*Caregivers are welcome to stay or drop off. Limited to 8 kids per class.
