Our Spring Create with Clay Workshop for kids is in its final weeks, but that just means that we are gearing up for our student exhibit at the Spring Studio Sale. My students have sold there work at this exhibit for years and they are always so excited to set their prices and invite their families to come. We talk about the business of art, how to set fair prices, and I charge them a small commission to show their work (which I then donate to a local organization).
The students can show and/or sell a few select pieces that they’ve made and then we do a group project for a larger display. Last year we made Van Gogh Sunflowers and then recreated a 3-D version of his famous painting on the wall of the studio. This photo was taken as we were setting up before I got their name tags on each flower which of course were in the shape of leaves. I love how unique each flower is and yet how well they work in this grouping.
I’m not revealing what our group project is this year, but I promise that you’ll want to take a bite out of it!
Join us at the studio to see this years group project and other talented student work at the Spring Studio Sale!

Looking forward to seeing you there!
After nearly 20 years of teaching community clay classes to everyone from 3 years old to 80 years old, I’ve amassed a huge arsenal of project ideas. I thought it would be great to share these ideas with other teachers who want to do clay in their classrooms.
I have been working with the amazingly talented Kathy Barbro of Art Projects for Kids to design a Create with Clay PDF book of classroom tested clay projects and our first one is ready to download.
For $5 you get a PDF download of 5 projects that you can do in your classroom. This first book includes Pinch Pot Ice Cream Bowls, Textured Turtles, Slab Constructed Pencil Holders, Textures Charm Boxes & Hand Bowls. All of the projects show step-by-step photos and descriptions of each project to make it easy for anyone to create with clay.
There are just a few spots left in our kids Spring Clay Workshop – grab them before they’re gone!
This 8 week Spring Workshop is a great way to introduce kids to the wonderfully messy world of clay. Students use hand-building skills to create both functional and sculptural pieces. They are introduced to wheel throwing techniques, are exposed to the major concepts of art such as texture, form and color and still get plenty of free choice time with clay. Open to children ages 7 and up.
March 1 – April 21* 4:30 – 6
Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday
*If you miss a class, you may make it up on another week
This workshop ends with an exhibition at our Annual Spring Studio Sale on April 30th! Students can show and sell their work at this fun event!
