Summer is a time to explore possibilities in our arts forms; with clay we will learn to create from slurry to bone dry and everything in between.  As a teaching artist I will scaffold and build students techniques, but also couple that with encouragement to follow their curiosity and see what happens.  Projects will depend on skill level. New students will explore with basic pinch pots and coils projects. Advanced students will be encouraged with self designed projects and the support to make them happen.

This fun and collaborative group class will be focused on learning how to make and understand music using simple percussion instruments such as Boomwhackers, buckets, glasses and bottles, and rhythm sticks.
