Program Description
Transport students back in time while building artistic skills! In this hands-on workshop, grades K-8 explore ancient clay hand-building and coiling techniques used by cultures worldwide for thousands of years. Led by instructor Moriah, students discover the magic of transforming clay into vessels and sculptures using hands and modeling tools. After viewing examples and learning clay's cultural history, students experiment with shaping and sculpting techniques using air-dry clay. Each student creates a unique piece ready to take home within 1-2 days. Optional second session adds painting and sealing for vibrant finishing touches. This curriculum-aligned program addresses NYS Arts Standards (Anchor Standards 1, 2, 11), connecting traditional and contemporary practices while exploring how art reflects cultural heritage. Moriah collaborates with teachers for seamless classroom integration.
