Join Glynis for a creative, hands-on pottery class just for kids! Over two Saturdays, children ages 7 and up will learn the basics of hand-building with clay while making their very own flowerpot. This fun and friendly class encourages creativity, builds fine motor skills, and lets young artists get a little messy while shaping something special to take home. No experience needed-just imagination and a willingness to create! Wear clothes that can get dirty or bring an apron and hand towel.
Course fees include clay, glazes, firings and use of all studio tools and equipment.
Glynis Thomas has always had a passion for art and shares that love with her four children. She has been painting, drawing, and sculpting (with clay, paper) for over 40 years. She is a certified instructor for the RESPECT & DARE (to resist drugs and violence) programs for kids as well as a First Aid/CPR Instructor for 30 yrs. Glynis believes in combining the knowledge of how clay can be worked with self-expression, laughter and the joy of art for the sake of art.
