Handbuilding with Clay for Kids

Kids ages 8 to 12 years are invited to play with clay! Learn how to construct clay objects with hand building techniques. In each five-week series, we will complete four projects and we will cover a new handbuilding concept each week. This course will include slab building, coil building, small scale sculptural techniques and we will also make a mug! Pieces will be finished with underglaze painting in the final class. Please be aware that the projects will need to go through a two-step firing process in kilns and will be returned one to three weeks after class completion. Join us for one or both of the five-week terms. All materials included. Your teacher Jennifer O?Brien is an award-winning artist and instructor who currently resides in Chemainus. She spent the last decade instructing classes for all ages at her studio in Kamloops. Jennifer enjoys sharing her love of creating through painting, drawing, sculpting and pottery.
