Event Overview

Yay for fun things to do! Clay Club is intended for youth and teens, ages 8-14. Kids only! Originally offered as an after school activity at a few lucky schools in Chicago, we are opening up an opportunity to get creative and enjoy some clay time at your home studio!

Boo to pandemic boredom, hello creative opportunity! We will pinch, pull and press the clay, using handbuilding skills and sneaky artist tricks. Students can arrive with their own ideas, try our "idea of the week", or be inspired by each other.
Clay is provided but needs to be picked up from the studio in advance (831 W. Wolfram). A tool list and setup instrucions will be provided; an optional, very simple, tool kit can be purchased for $3.

Sessions will be on Zoom; tickets are priced individually for the series, so please register each student separately. Each pass is good for 4 consecutive Wednesdays. Single-session tickets are not available, sorry.
Each class will run one hour; finished projects can be delivered to the studio for drying and firing. We will glaze your work for you; options will be provided. Everything will be ready for pick-up approximately 2-3 weeks after it is dropped off at the studio.

Winter Scheduling-
Clay Club will run on Wednesdays from January through March; if your child cannot make a session please notify in advance and we will do our best to accommodate alternate dates. Missed classes without advance notice will not be refunded. Ages 8-14 only.
For older teens and adults, Virtual Clay Play is offered Wednesdays at a later time. Ages 15+
