Affiliated with the national Young Audiences Arts for Learning network
Announcement: As we navigate a leadership transition and focus on financial planning, our summer programming will center on Arts, Care, and Connection. This intentional pause in other activities will help strengthen our foundation as we prepare to relaunch our core Right Brain Initiative this fall—supporting students, schools, and teaching artists with renewed energy and focus. Arts for Learning Northwest remains deeply committed to making arts and creativity accessible to all.
Educators will learn about ceramic hand-building techniques and tools as they explore methods for creating funky, furry, and scaly creatures. Methods for forming, texturing, and surfacing will be succinctly demonstrated as participants get comfortable with new techniques for kiln fired clay.
Discussion of integration techniques for curriculum support and skills for solving common clay dilemmas will be covered.
