Clay for Kids
Ages 6-12
August 26th 5:30-7:30pm
In this fun, one-day class, young artists will explore the exciting world of clay through handbuilding techniques. Students will learn the basics of working with clay, including pinching, rolling coils, and building simple forms by hand. With guidance from the instructor, kids will create their own unique sculptures or functional pieces while developing creativity, fine motor skills, and confidence.
All materials are provided, and no prior experience is necessary. Finished pieces will be fired and ready for pickup at a later date. This class is a playful and engaging introduction to ceramics—perfect for curious kids who love to make art with their hands!
Each person attending the class must register online. Reminders will be emailed out as we get closer to the class, please keep an eye on your email for more information.

scholarships & aid
FAVA reviews and considers all application for scholarship assistance. While we may not be able to provide a complete scholarship to all those who request it, we are committed to making our classes available to as many people as possible – regardless of individual financial circumstances. For this reason, it is important that all scholarship requests are received well in advance of the class starting date, so we may allocate our available funds accordingly. We may consider any of the following factors when determining eligibility for scholarships:
- Annual family income
- Individual or special circumstances
- Whether the applicant qualifies for the National Free/Reduced Price School Lunch program
(for students age 18 & younger)
**FAVA also encourages applicants to consider partial scholarship assistance, in which case the student only pays some portion of the class tuition.
All information will be kept confidential and will be used solely to determine the amount of scholarship assistance to be provided.
