Kid’s Class- Young Creators(3-5)- Clay Creations Make It, Use It

n Week 3 of Young Creators, we’re sculpting functional art—useful objects inspired by the sea, created entirely from scratch using air-dry clay.

🌊 What We’ll Make:Students will design and sculpt their own sea-themed, functional items such as:

• A turtle-shaped trinket dish
• A shell-inspired ring holder
• A pinch pot shaped like a whale or starfish
• Or a custom piece based on their own idea!

🎨 Skills & Techniques They’ll Learn:

• Pinch pot and coil construction
• Attaching forms with scoring and slip
• Texture tools and design for function and decoration
• How to plan a design that’s both artistic and usable

✨ Creative Focus:This class blends creativity and problem-solving, as students are encouraged to think like artists and designers—considering both form and function in their piece.

🎁 Take-Home Project:Each artist will leave with a one-of-a-kind clay object that’s fully formed, ready to air dry at home, and usable in everyday life.
