Ceramics for Children- Winter Session

Join Long Island ceramic artist Jessamyn Go for an exciting 8-week clay workshop designed especially for kids ages 8 to 12! This fun and creative program marks Gallery North’s introduction into ceramics for children, and we’re excited to grow and expand our studio offerings with your support.

Each two-hour class includes hands-on demonstrations and guided instruction. Students will complete four unique ceramic projects—one every two weeks—while learning essential hand-building techniques such as pinching, coiling, slab construction, and adding attachments. They’ll also explore surface decoration and glazing methods. Sample Projects include: 

• Project 1-Pinch Pot Animals; Learn basic pinch techniques to create expressive
  creatures. (1/18 & 1/25)

• Project 2- Slab Hand Plates; Trace and build left and right hand-shaped plates.
  Create a clay object for the hand to hold. (2/1 & 2/8)

• Project 3- Coil Planter; Learn 4 types of decorative coils. (3/1 & 3/8)

• Project 4- Silly Face Mug; Construct a functional mug with playful facial features. (3/15 & 3/22)

The structure of each project is simple and engaging:

• Week 1: Build the form with clay

• Week 2: Glaze and finish the piece
  
  

Whether your child is new to clay or already loves making art, this workshop encourages creativity, exploration, and skill-building in a supportive studio setting.

The $450 workshop fee includes all materials and kiln firings.
We can’t wait to see this program grow—come be a part of it!
