EC- 2025 - Mini Clay Club
with Megan Steinman
Ages: 6 - 13
Instructor: Megan Steinman
Dates; Multiple Sessions Available
Tuesdays and Thursday are now open to 6 to 13 year olds
(Previously these days were age specific!)
Time: 4:30-6:30
These classes are offered as a way to have fun and adventure into art after school has let out for the day! At each session there will be multiple examples avalible for the students to choose from, though there will be some kind of theme each week that the examples will relate to. This can be as simple as "pinch pots" where the items shown are all pinch pots, or it could be like a "dish" which could be from a slab, made using pinch pot methods or other methods!
The goal of these classes is to introduce different techniques for Hand-building in ceramics or to better skills a student may already have. In addition to this to have fun with the medium of clay, using new and different tools to explore all it has to offer.

EW-02/13- Spooky Candygrams - Forever Cookies
with Megan Steinman
Instructor: Megan
Date: Feburary 13th 2026
Time: 5:00pm-8:00pm
Ages: 16+ (Young Teen and Adult)
This year, Valentines just so happens to be on a Saturday creating a 'Friday the 13th' right before Valentines day, so in spirit of this let us make some spooky themed candygram/cookies. In this class students can make as many cookies as their heart desires... as long as each cookie can get the attention it requires, being proper smoothed and getting a least a splash of color. Undergalze will be used during this class to allow the application of color to take place on the same day as creation! Students may choose where to have their cookies remain "dull" creating a realistic shortbread look, or to have a clear glaze applied creating a smooth glossy surface on the face of the cookies.
It has been asked "What is a candygram?" Traditionally a candygram is a sweet or confectionary sent to another person with a small message for the recipient traditionally on Valentine's day, though they can be sent at other holidays or times. These sweets are generally anonymous but can incude the senders name if wanted.
This project will be ready for pickup 1-2 weeks from the date of the class.

EW-02/14- Clay Heart Box - Paint your own
with Megan Steinman
Instructor: Megan
Date: Feburary 14th 2026
Time: 12:00pm-3:00pm
**Ages: 14+
This class is all about decorating! The heart box and its lid come premade, all they need is some color. We will add color and some shine to this box by using glaze to paint with, they can be done in solid colors or by painting a design or message upon the piece. These pieces will then be fired in a kiln to allow the glaze to mature and permenantly bind to the piece.
Depending on the Artist this class may take a longer or shorter amount of time determined by the patterns/colors and decoration of the piece.
**((Due to the nature of this being a glazing class it is not ideal for younger children))
They will be ready for pickup 1-2 weeks from the date of the class.
