My Project

There is nothing quite like working with clay- when you’re squishing it between your hands, the possibilities feel endless. With clay alone, you can build your own world and characters to live in it.

Clay is a resource our students are always excited to work with, and we’d love to make some special gifts to send home this year, like pinch-pots and clay animals.

They will get to make contact with a medium humans have used for thousands of years for both art and utility, as we also dive into the history of clay use and ancient pottery.

Thanks so much for taking the time to read about our project!
