Children will explore clay through hands-on art projects and learn about clay sculpting techniques. From rolling, draping, pressing, and molding clay children will have a completed project at the end of each session. Children will be invited back on May 4th to decorate their projects. The Museum is happy to host Artist in Residence Ellen Jamiolkowski for this workshop, as she will lead three days of sculpting prior to the decorating day.

Sessions are designed so you can join us for the decorating session on May 4th, and one or all three technique sessions. 

Technique sessions are:
Letter Stamps on Cups and Bowls: Saturday, April 13th, from 2:00pm-4:00pm
Impressions: Saturday, April 20th, from 2:00pm-4:00pm
Sculpting Silly Faces: Saturday, April 27th, from 2:00pm-4:00pm

An additional workshop for our younger friends, ages 2-5 will be held on Thursday April 25th beginning at 10:00 am.
