Description
Let’s create fun summer memories, Autumn leaves bursting with color, Halloween Jack O’Lanterns, witches & goblins, favorite pets, fun movie and game characters, and more. ClayPlayers create a new project every week and love making whatever they want for their last class project!
Students experiment with different clay forms (pinch pots, coil, sculpting, slabs & tiles), design and patterning, red & white clays, rainbow color & bursting crystal glazes, and decorative materials such as feathers & colored wire. You will learn how to mix glazes to create other colors, and see how crystal, crackle, and textured glazes change the look of your creation after being fired in a hot kiln. Clay and glazes used are non-toxic, and firings are done off-site in your instructor’s kiln (a teaching lesson!).
Working with clay is a lot of fun... but also very beneficial to children!* They learn dexterity (using their hands/fingers as tools), visual awareness (hand/eye coordination), how to explore their curiosity, shapes and how they relate to each other, math skills and measuring, how to work with and socialize with fellow students, and take pride in accomplishment! Creating with clay has a calm, soothing effect and is a nice way to end the school day! *http://www.pbs.org/parents/education/music-arts/the-importance-of-art-in-child-development/
