Clay Critters for Ages 7-12 with Kim Sammartano

Ages 7-12 | Ceramics Studio | June 27, 2025 | 9am-12p

Unleash your creativity and shape your own world with clay! Join Kim for a fun and hands-on experience where kids will learn how to sculpt their favorite animals — or invent their own — using basic hand-building techniques like pinching, coiling, and attaching forms. From cats and fish to dragons and unicorns, young artists will explore shapes, textures, and creative details as they bring their animal forms to life in clay.

Each critter will have its own personality! This workshop encourages imagination, play, and skill-building in a friendly, supportive environment.

Perfect for all skill levels — no experience needed.
