- Mix an activity that engages the heart and mind (also great for anxiety) with some social interaction and you have a Clay Club!
- Clay projects will be based upon the experience and desires of the students that participate, and we pride ourselves on providing a supportive community environment in which our students can express their individuality while building up their confidence working with clay!
- Students will be able to work independently & at their own pace utilizing any of the following hand-building skills: slab work, pinch pots or coil building.
