Turn clay into creativity you can use again and again! In this imaginative three-hour workshop, young artists will design and build their very own reusable dry erase boards using handbuilt clay techniques. Students will shape and decorate a personalized clay frame. Inside that frame will be a smooth white glazed surface that can be written on with a dry erase marker. This piece can be used as a drawing surface, or a message board perfect for notes, reminders, or daily inspirations!

Along the way, students will learn foundational pottery skills such as slab building, smoothing, and surface design while discovering how clay can transform into a functional object.

All materials included.

No prior clay experience is needed – just curiosity and a willingness to get a little messy. Finished pieces will be fired in the kiln and ready for pickup on a later date.

What Campers Will Learn & Create:

Foundational Techniques: In this 3-hour class, young clay artists will design and build their very own reusable dry erase boards using handbuilt clay techniques.
Surface Design & Glazing: After they build their imaginative creation, they will add colors of their choice by painting on bright underglazes.

Class Highlights:

Inspired Design: Students are encouraged to lean into their imagination, have fun and bring their individual ideas to life.
Structured Learning: Students receive guidance on how clay behaves and how to build sturdy structures.
Materials Included: Tuition covers all clay, glazes, and firings. Due to the nature of the medium, some projects will be fired after class ends and will need to be picked up at a later date. Shipping options are available upon request.
