All kids love MUD!
Let your child’s creativity take shape in clay! Our Kids & Teens programs offer hands-on experiences for every age and interest — from one-time workshops to weekly classes and summer camps. Students learn real pottery techniques like hand building and wheel throwing while expressing their unique creativity in a fun, encouraging studio environment.
