Our program is designed for kids who are excited about getting creative with clay. Since the focus is hands-on pottery all day, we’ll ask you to share your child’s prior experience or interest in working with clay when you register.

We strive to create a positive and engaging environment for all participants. While most kids thrive in this setting, we recognize that clay isn’t for everyone. If a child is having a hard time participating in a way that supports the group experience, we may ask parents to pick them up. Please note that in such cases, we’re not able to offer refunds.
