Homeschool Class - The Process of Pouring Molds

Homeschool Pottery Class: Process of Pouring a Mold

Join us for a hands-on and creative homeschool pottery class where kids will learn about the process of pouring clay molds and get to paint their own finished piece. In this class, students will learn about the different stages of clay—from liquid slip to solid form—and see firsthand how a clay piece is created. After the pouring process, students will get to paint their own piece, making this class both educational and fun. No prior pottery experience is required.

Students will create a unique, personalized clay piece that they can proudly display or use at home.
