General Information

These workshops are designed to offer a welcoming, hands-on space to slow down, explore creativity, and connect through clay. Whether you are joining for a youth class, caregiver-and-child session, adult workshop, or community clay night, each experience is centered around process, curiosity, and creative expression - not perfection.

No prior experience is needed unless otherwise noted. All materials and tools will be provided. Participants are encouraged to come as they are, enjoy the tactile nature of clay, and create in a supportive, relaxed environment.

Please complete the registration form below to reserve your spot. Space is limited to keep workshops intimate and engaging. Payment details and additional workshop information will be provided after registration.

Workshops

Grounded Mornings

A slow and welcoming morning designed to help quiet the extra noise of everyday life. Join River Clay Studio for a gentle creative space to explore, learn, and create with air-dry clay. Templates and guided inspiration will be available, while personal projects are always encouraged.

This workshop is especially welcoming to caregivers, parents, and anyone craving time to slow down, reconnect, and create without pressure. Coffee and tea will be available as we gather in a calm, grounding environment where conversation, creativity, and the steady rhythm of working with clay offer space to pause and breathe.

Youth Clay Club ~2-7 years old

Air-Dry clay is a welcoming gateway into the world of ceramics. It dries naturally and is ready for painting and sealing within just a few days. This makes it an accessible, low-pressure way to explore the fundamentals of hand-building while engaging in rich sensory play.

Come when you can, there is no pressure or stress if life gets busy. Each session stands on its own, while repeat visits help young makers build skills, confidence, and connection over time. When you run out of punches, register again for more visits! Suggested age range 2-7 years old.

Pencil Cup for Dad

Create a personalized handprint pencil holder for Father’s Day.

Little hands make the best gifts. Kids will trace, decorate, and personalize their clay handprints before transforming them into a one-of-a-kind pencil holder for Dad. Add “Dad,” “Daddy,” Grandpa, or another special name to create a meaningful keepsake he’ll use and treasure every day.

Add On's

If an item is created from air-dry clay that you would like water resistant or epoxied we can talk about which sealant is best suited for your piece, I can finish for an additional charge. Punch card pricing includes air-dry clay materials. Participants interested in working with stoneware or earthenware are welcome to do so, with additional clay and kiln firing fees applied depending on the project. 

By registering for a River Clay Studio workshop, class, or event, participants acknowledge that pottery and clay activities may involve the use of tools, paints, glazes, and other art materials that can cause minor injury, staining, or irritation if used improperly. Participants choose to participate voluntarily and assume responsibility for themselves and any children attending under their care.

Parents or guardians are required to remain responsible for supervising children during caregiver-and-child workshops unless otherwise stated. River Clay Studio strives to provide a safe, welcoming, and inclusive environment for all participants and asks that everyone engage respectfully with instructors, materials, the space, and one another.

Participants understand that completed projects, particularly air-dry and ceramic pieces, are handmade and may be fragile, crack, or break during the creation, drying, firing, or transport process. While every effort will be made to care for artwork, River Clay Studio cannot guarantee outcomes or be held responsible for accidental damage or breakage.

By attending, participants also grant permission for River Clay Studio to photograph workshops and artwork for promotional and social media purposes unless written notice is provided prior to the event.

Participation in any River Clay Studio workshop or event indicates acceptance of these terms.
