After School 4-Weeks
Service Description
Pottery Lab’s After-School Pottery Program is for kids ages 6+ who want to explore clay, get creative, and learn how to make things with their hands. Each 1.25-hour class is a fun, hands-on break from school where kids can experiment with clay, learn new techniques, and work on their own projects. No previous pottery experience is needed. The program runs in 4-week sessions, with new projects introduced every 4 weeks so kids can keep coming back and learning something new. What Kids Will Learn Kids will explore different pottery techniques, including: Pottery wheel throwing Sculpture and handbuilding Working with shapes, textures and forms Glazing and surface decoration Finishing and preparing pieces for firing Projects are designed for different experience levels, so beginners can learn the basics while returning students can continue building their skills. Why Pottery? Working with clay is about more than making a finished piece. Kids get to touch, feel, experiment, make mistakes, and figure things out as they go. Through pottery, kids can: Build creativity and confidence Develop fine motor skills and coordination Practice patience and problem-solving Learn to work independently Explore their own ideas and imagination Learn real pottery skills they can build on over time And the best part? They get to see their ideas turn into something they can actually hold and take home.
