Kids & Teens
Sawmill
Pottery offers classes and workshops for all ages and all levels
of experience.
Call (860-963-7807) or email us dot@sawmillpottery.com for details or to register.
Younger Kids: Elementary School aged kids
Wednesdays: January 4-February 22, 4-5:30pm. 8 weeks. $200.
Saturdays: January 7-February 25, 9:30-11am. 8 weeks. $200.
At Sawmill Pottery, we
believe it is never too early to get kids involved in the tactile, creative
art of pottery. Kids of all ages get to try everything we have to offer
in the studio. They will learn handbuilding, wheel throwing and painting,
decorating, and glazing at an age-appropriate level. This class will focus
specifically on projects appropriate for gift giving during the holidays.
Teens: Middle/High School aged kids
Tuesdays: January 3-February 21, 3-4:30pm. 8 weeks. $200.
Teens are ready to learn more technical pottery skills than their younger counterparts. They can work with more clay on the pottery wheel, and they have the patience and dexterity for more intricate sculptural projects. This session we will focus on the development of a voice through clay. This is a great class if you’re hoping to build a portfolio to apply to college.
Specifically for Kids…
The workshops listed below are planned specifically for our younger potters! Workshops are usually best for kids 6 and up. If you have questions about whether your child is ready for this experience, please contact us.

Make a Vase for Mom
Friday, May 4, 4-5:30pm
Mother’s Day is right around the corner. What a perfect gift…a vase handmade with love, and filled with hand picked flowers! Mom will never forget it. Kids will choose from a slab made or a coil-built vase sample, and learn the techniques to make their own. They will either paint the vase with colored slips, or they will choose a glaze color that we will dip the vase in. Vases will, of course, be ready before Mother’s Day!
$35 includes all materials
NEW!!!! MLK CLAY PLAY
Monday, January 16, 10am-Noon.
The day off of school doesn’t have to be a day in front of the TV! Using the theme, “I have a Dream,” kids will create their “dream” in clay. We’ll talk about their hopes and dreams, make some sketches, and then work with clay to make their dream tangible. If time allows, they’ll also paint a plate with a similar theme.
$40 includes all materials

Does your child deserve to have a great April Vacation? Send them to CLAY
CAMP, where they'll discover and explore a new side of themselves! All the
fun of a regular afterschool class squished into one fabulous week. They'll
create sculptures, throw pots on the pottery wheel, and learn all about
handbuilding and decorative techniques. We keep the camp sizes small so
that the kids will get challenged individually and be able to work at their
own pace.
