Private Group Workshops for Kids Mudflat offers workshops for children, teens, and parent and child pairs to explore their creativity through clay *Please Note*: Mudflat is unable to schedule private group workshops Thanksgiving-early January 2024. Workshops can be scheduled for daytime, Friday evenings or weekends for up to 15 participants, focusing on basic wheelthrowing or handbuilding techniques. How the Workshop Works: Handbuilding Workshop (ages 5+): Handbuilding offers a lot of possible projects including animal bowls, birdhouses, pumpkins, etc. Handbuilding uses pinching, coiling, and slab techniques to make functional or sculptural work. To ensure a pleasant clay experience, everyone will work on the same project. We are happy to recommend projects based on the interests of your participants. Pieces will be painted with non-toxic ceramic underglaze colors during the workshop. Wheelthrowing Workshop (ages 8+): For wheelthrowing, kids will learn how to throw a bowl on the wheel. For the wheel workshop, every child in the group is required to be at least eight years old as children younger than eight can have difficulty working with clay on the wheel. At the end of the workshop, each participant will select one bowl and a glaze color, so their best effort can be glazed and fired. Scheduling a workshop at Mudflat: Start by filling out an inquiry form below. This inquiry form will gather information such as: How many participants are in your group? Maximum group size is 14 participants. Do you want a wheelthrowing or handbuilding workshop- this may depend on the ages of the kids. What day/date/time works for your group? Until further notice, we are only able to schedule workshops for kids and parent/child groups on Tuesdays, 10 am - 5 pm and Thursdays, 10 am - 3 pm. Our event organizer will follow up with you after receiving your inquiry form. We require a minimum of two weeks’ notice to schedule a workshop and find a teacher(s) for your group.
