Q-1 Clay for Teens

Service Description

Clay for teens is a ceramics program designed to invite and inspire teens through fun and expressive clay projects. Students gain basic skills working on the wheel as well as through hand building and sculpting projects. Each quarter is structured to introduce and practice skills that build understanding of the ceramics process and produce high quality final works. Students explore surface design, underglaze techniques and glaze layering through specific glaze instruction. Since a fundamental purpose of ceramics is to create functional pieces, each quarter dedicates one project to a dish design. Dishes are created with a theme in mind, fired to be food safe and on our last class we celebrate with a class dinner showcasing and using our handmade dishes in celebration. It’s a special tradition we have developed at MSA and we are able to accommodate all dietary limitations. Final works are displayed at our end of quarter art show. *Please dress for a mess! Even though we cover up with aprons before lessons, there is always a chance for paint and other materials that stain to get on children’s clothing. We want our students to feel comfortable when they’re at the studio to create freely without worry of ruining favorite clothes. Refund policy: Any refund or change requested after booking is subject to an 8% processing fee. Refunds will be processes in full, minus the processing fee from the time of booking until 14 days prior to lesson start date. No refunds are given after 14 days prior to lesson start date. No refunds will be given for discounts that could have been used after registration processing. (ie. you realized after registering that you could have applied the sibling discount). This is due to processing fees out-weighing the savings of the discount when they are processed separately. No discounts can be applied, refunded, or credited after registration has been processed. If it is decided by staff, after consideration of the studio behavior policy, that a student can no longer attend art lessons a full refund for lessons that cannot be attended will be made. No refunds will be given for missed lessons.
