Kids Like Clay™ promotes ceramic art appreciation in San Diego.
We are a family team with our own kilns to fire ceramic art. We offer one hour ceramic classes that start with a lump of clay and guide students into making works of ceramic art through pinching, coils and slab working techniques. This approach fosters problem solving, hand-eye coordination and creative fun.
We offer an all inclusive solutions for kids that like clay for after school programs and private parties.
At Kids Like Clay™ exploring originality in clay art is the main focus. Our program provides the clay, glazes and the transportation of the creations from the class location to our studio for firing and back again. Ten students make a class. Pottery wheel instruction is only available at our studio location. We have years of teaching experience.
