COMING IN NOV - CREATIVE CLAY WORKSHOP! REGISTER NOW!
CREATIVE CLAY WORKSHOP!
Ages 8 and up
Explore and
experiment with the three hand building methods of working with Earthenware
clay. Learn about the glazing and firing
process and create several unique ceramic pieces of your own! In my clay classes I teach HOW to effectively
work with the medium – WHAT your child makes is up to him or her! No 2 pieces are alike. From start to finish your child’s artwork
will be one of his own creation that he can take pride in! If your child has already taken a clay class
with me, never fear! He can take it
again and develop his skills even further.
I am here to teach, encourage and guide, and to provide help when needed.
FALL SCHEDULE
Nov. 9, 16
and 30, 11:00 – 12:30, $55 includes all supplies and the final pieces will be
fired and ready to pick up by Dec. 2 – just in time for the holidays!
Becky Brooks
is a FL certified Art Educator with more than 15 years of experience. All classes are taught in a safe, small group
setting and individualized to the children who attend.

THANKS, LORI!
"Our girls (ages 10 and 8) treasure Ms. Becky's art classes. We have taken other art classes through community groups and homeschool co-ops, but have not found a teacher who relates as well to children. The girls appreciate how Ms. Becky instructs them on technique but does not re-do or fix their work. Our girls are not naturally talented, however, Ms. Becky's soft approach has nurtured their love of art, as well as developed their technique utilizing a diverse medium. We look forward to many years of art with Ms. Becky."-Lori Ringo
