Youth Clay Classes & Workshops
Our kid & teen-friendly classes are hands-on, screen-free, and full of fun. Students will explore the magic of clay—squishing, shaping, glazing, and seeing their projects come to life in the kiln. No experience needed.
We provide everything they need and all sessions are taught by working ceramic artists and held in our downtown studio inside the PACA building (3rd floor). Just show up ready to make a mess (and some memories).
