Clay Classes
Winter 2009/2010

The Gardiner Museum's clay classes offer creative fun for young adults and adults. Participants at all levels of experience--including absolute beginners--will learn the techniques of creating ceramic art by forming and decorating their own hands-on projects in clay.

Instructors are all professional ceramic artists with years of experience helping participants achieve their goals. Sessions are informal, with time for experimentation as well as a focus on technique.
