My Project

Students will use wet clay, textured sponges, and underglazes to create fired clay walls used as models to paint mini murals. Underglazes and sponges make textured color variations. This helps make realistic looking brick walls. Students will be excited to paint their own mini mural in whatever style they prefer. Our ceramics program grows every year! Help us keep it new and interesting.

Every year we create new competitions that allow for creative freedom while still teaching technical discipline.

Kids love clay. Help them take it to another level. Thanks
