Spend a creative morning working side by side with your child in this caregiver-and-child handbuilding workshop for ages 5–7 and their grown-ups. Guided by Museum teaching artists, families will explore clay through playful, hands-on activities in a welcoming studio space. Pinch, coil, roll, and sculpt as you collaborate on imaginative clay creations and enjoy the process of making together.

No prior experience is required. All materials are included. Workshops are intentionally small to support meaningful engagement. Advance registration is recommended, and space is limited.
