CLAY CLASSES and WORKSHOPS
Clay Classes and Workshops are taught by local, experienced Ceramic Artists in Laumeier’s Staenberg Family Foundation Clay Lab. Small group sizes provide participants with individual attention; projects are designed to allow participants the freedom to explore their own potential and creativity. Participants work at their own level and pace with guided instruction for skill improvement. Materials are always provided!
