Explore, create, and have fun with clay. Children will experience the joy of working with clay while making inventive objects of all kinds including sculptures. The course aims to expand imagination and heighten sensory awareness that stresses experimentation and fun. Young artists connect the imaginative process to all aspects of learning and develop confidence in their own abilities and imaginations.
