Description

This kid's class meets once a week for 4 weeks. 

Let's explore and
record nature in clay this summer!  Kids will have time to explore the
courtyard for leaves, feathers, flowers, branches etc. along with a bin
of natural objects that will be provided for the class to look through /
choose from and use each week.  We'll explore different methods of
handbuilding and sculpting along with surface design with the objects
found in nature and color.  Students will learn the essentials and be
guided to follow their imaginations through the intuitive tactile
process. 
At the end of the session 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. Come join us!     

 

If your child falls outside the listed age range and they are interested in the class please email Megan, [email protected]

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.
