Why pottery is the perfect group activity
Encourages Creativity and Self Expression

- Each creation is unique and tells a different story. This is why pottery is a memorable and unique experience; the imagination of everyone is brought to life by clay.
- The pottery group sessions are filled with laughter and delight as you discover how different people interpret the same concept!
Let Your Hands Shape Your Creativity
- There is something magical about having your hands with clay. It is also about the tactile sensation of creating something with your hands. The process of creativity takes place when you get into it, making simple bowls or an abstract piece.
- When you’re working using your hands, the clay becomes a part of your imagination. Every time you turn, twist, and pressure you apply, you’re creating yourself in a physical kind of meditative manner. The greatest aspect? You’re doing it with classmates, sharing that artistic spark as you discover the infinite possibilities.
