Clay for Kids
by donation
- Thu3:30 - 5:30 pm
Description
This class meets once a week for 4 weeks. Offered by donation while funding lasts!We're coming into mask wearing / halloween time of year! Come make masks and faces with clay where we will explore different methods of hand building and sculpting. Each week we will cover new techniques from forming the clay (pinching, rolling out, coiling) to surface decoration (carving, drawing, painting, glazing). Students will learn the essentials and be guided to follow their imaginations through the intuitive tactile process. At the end of the 4 weeks students will not only take home their own creations of art but leave with a new avenue of self expression and an understanding of the creative potential of clay. We hope you'll come join us! If your child falls outside the listed age range and they are interested in the class please email Megan, [email protected]We understand that parents cannot always pay for all the activities their kids want to do, so we are extra excited to offer our kids' programming at the Smithy Clay Studio by donation while funds last. We have listed some suggested donation levels if you want to chip in and support the programs we do. Your donations will help keep this going forward! Any amount is greatly appreciated, and there is an open field for donations at checkout. We are a 501c3, registered nonprofit, so your donations are tax-deductible. This program was initially made possible with public funds from the Statewide Community Regrants Program, a regrant program of the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of the Office of the Governor and the New York State Legislature, and administered by The Earlville Opera House. About Anne Carnevale:Anne fell in love with shards of pottery as a child at archaeological sites which eventually led to her first ceramics class on a study abroad program. Whichever city she landed over the years she made sure to find a communal studio and studied with an array of teachers. She's been creating full time since 2013 and has taught all ages privately since then. She enjoys working with interior designers and her work can be found in boutiques internationally and locally since her recent move to the area.
