Kids Summer Clay Club - 12-16 year olds

Kids Summer Clay Club at Common Clay
Tuesdays: August 4, 11 & 18

12–16 years: 1pm – 3pm

Our Summer Clay Club is a series of fun, hands-on sessions where young people can make, experiment, and get creative in a relaxed, welcoming studio.

Across the three Tuesdays, we’ll explore a range of techniques — from hand-building and sculpting to surface decoration — with dedicated time on the pottery wheel each session. This is a great chance to try wheel throwing, with plenty of guidance to help build confidence and skills.

You’re welcome to book a single session or join us for all three.

Sessions are tailored to each age group, with projects designed to be engaging, achievable, and open-ended. All levels are welcome — no experience needed.

Alongside the making, we prioritise a calm, supportive environment where everyone feels comfortable and included. Sessions are led by experienced artist facilitators, with small group sizes to ensure each participant gets plenty of guidance, including one-to-one support on the pottery wheel.

Participants will create a range of pieces across the sessions. Work will be carefully dried and fired by the studio, ready for collection at a later date.

Optional full-day add-on: Kids Woodwork at Do Your Ideas

If you would like to make a full day of it, you’re also welcome to book onto Kids Woodwork at Do Your Ideas carpentry workshop, which is connected to our studio. Their sessions run on the same days 10–12 for 12–16 year olds and 1–3 for 8–11 year olds. We will also supervise a lunch break and time to run around in our yard between sessions for anyone staying for the full day.

Please note: these sessions are booked separately via https://doyourideas.org
