Pick your hour of fun! This event is in one hour increments between 12pm - 5pm!
Looking for a fun activity to do with your kids on a hot summer day?
Or perhaps you just need to get out of the house and try something creative to take your mind off work stress?
Join us on select days this June, July, and August and try playing in clay!
For one hour, we will give you the tools and clay you need to “just try it out”! This is not a class with a teacher so no instruction or lessons will be given, but our staff will set you up with what you need, and tell you basic rules to follow in our studio. After that, you are on your own!
There are so many emotional, mental, and physical benefits to working in clay. Clay work can provide a calming and meditative experience, reducing stress and anxiety levels. The movement is gentle yet strengthening to the hands, wrists, and arms, not to mention the tactile engagement with clay provides a unique way to connect with and express emotions. In short, it is the perfect low-tech, physically beneficial activity for all ages!
Join us to explore and create this summer!
