Instructor: Siân Ramsden

Our pottery instructors guide an adult and child team to create a clay project together. You will learn about studio safety, how to use a variety of clay tools and how to construct basic shapes. Follow structured steps provided by our instructor, to help your child make a clay project or allow your child to explore, play and make a mess! We encourage all levels of learning through clay play and will ensure that your final sculpture is well built and able to withstand kiln firing. 

Art supplies included.

    "The program brought together an excellent group of people with different levels of treaty knowledge. I loved how Celina approached topics with openness and empathy. Her discussion of the generational impacts of residential schools was very moving. Additionally, her sharing of her family’s oral histories of negotiating and signing treaties was eye-opening."
