5:30 PM - 7:00 PM    Create with Clay for Adults - Create with Clay
Kick off 2025 by trying something new just for you! Join us for a hands-on clay workshop where you'll craft your own decorative piece. Whether it’s a trinket dish, vase, sculpture, or other creative design, you'll have the chance to shape and build with clay. Hand-building with clay is a great way to relax and focus on putting technology away and creating something unique. After the class, your piece will be fired in a kiln and ready for pickup two weeks later. Once you have your creation, you can bring it home and add your personal touch with acrylic paints. No prior experience required – just bring your creativity!Instructor: MollyPlease note: Pre-registration required unless otherwise noted. Programs are drop-off programs unless otherwise noted.
