SUMMARY:Kids' Spring Pottery Course
DESCRIPTION:Kids’ Spring Pottery Class Curriculum\nA 5-Week Creative Clay Journey \nThis class is designed to help children build confidence\, creativity\, patience\, and hands-on pottery skills through both hand building and wheel throwing. Throughout the series\, students will explore clay through imagination play\, technical skill-building\, and thoughtful creative exercises that emphasize process over perfection. \n\nWeek One: Creativity & Letting Go of Perfection\nHand building Project: Creativity Charms\nStudents will create a hand built bobble head and end the class with making a  “creativity charm” during free clay play — a special piece meant to remind them how important it is to stay creative and curious throughout the next four weeks. \nSkills Introduced:\n\nWedging clay\nPinch pot techniques\nScoring and slipping\nWorking with soft clay\nImagination play & creative confidence\n\nOn the Wheel: Intro to the Wheel — “Create & Crash”\nWe learn the pottery wheel backwards! Students begin by learning shaping first rather than starting with centering. \nEach child will receive a pre-centered and pre-pulled piece on the wheel to shape and explore before smashing it back down again. This teaches students that pottery is about the experience\, practice\, and skill development — not perfection or finished products…yet. \n\nWeek Two: Balancing the Four Elements\nHand building Project: Slab Faces\nStudents will create expressive slab-built faces while discussing balance within pottery and in everyday life. \nSkills Introduced:\n\nBuilding with slabs\nMeasuring and following instructions\nWorking with leather-hard clay\nScoring and slipping\nImaginative design work\n\nOn the Wheel: My First Handmade Cup\nStudents will begin learning the 5 Steps of Throwing while focusing primarily on: \n\nPulling walls (Step 3)\nShaping forms (Step 4)\n\nEach child will create their very first handmade cup on the wheel. \n\nWeek Three: Intro to Glazing & Surface Design\nSpecial Parent Mug Collaboration\nStudents will collaborate with the instructor to create a special mug for their parents as a thank-you for investing in their creativity. ❤️ \nA pre-thrown mug body will be provided so students can focus on the finishing steps of pottery. \nSkills Introduced:\n\nTrimming pottery\nApplying handles (Step 5)\nSurface decoration techniques\nIntro to glazing\n\nStudents will choose between: \n\nSgraffito (carving designs into clay)\nSlip trailing (decorating with liquid clay)\n\nOn the Wheel: My First Bowl\nStudents will focus on: \n\nOpening the clay (Step 2)\nReviewing wall pulling and shaping techniques\n\n\nWeek Four: Planning the Process\nHand building Project: Designing With Intention\nStudents will spend the first half of class intentionally planning their final hand building project before beginning construction. \nSkills Introduced:\n\nForm and function planning\nColor scheme development\nCreative problem solving\nTool and technique selection\n\nStudents will pitch their ideas to the instructor and decide which building methods best fit their vision: \n\nPinch pottery\nSlab building\nSculpture\nWheel throwing\n\nOn the Wheel: Making a Plate\nStudents will finally tackle the hardest part of wheel throwing — centering (Step 1)! \nChildren will first attempt centering independently before the instructor helps complete the process. Students will then spend time simply feeling a centered piece in motion to help “calibrate” their touch and understanding before continuing with creation. \n\nWeek Five: Wrapping It All Up\nGlazing & Color Theory\nStudents will explore: \n\nColor theory\nEmotional expression through color\nDecorative layering techniques\n\nEach student will develop intentional color palettes for their work and will be encouraged to use at least three decorative techniques\, including: \n\nDip glazing\nBrush glazing\nTexture layering\nSurface detailing\n\n\nFinal Notes\nFinished pottery pieces will remain at the studio for kiln firing after class completion. Parents may pick up remaining pieces approximately 1–2 weeks after the final class. \nThroughout the course\, students will not only learn pottery skills\, but also patience\, resilience\, creative thinking\, and confidence through the process of making by hand. \n\n\n\n\nClick Here to Reserve Your Kids’ Spot Today!
