Who Are You?

Tuesday, August 3

Acrylic Painting with Mosaics/ Clay Slab Rolling

Step by step we will guide your child to paint a self portrait using acrylic paints on an 8” ceramic tile. They will then frame their portrait by using mosaic pieces around the border of the tile. Grouting will be completed by the TCSE staff.

Clay name plaques will also be completed by using a slab rolling technique and will be painted the same day. 

 

Slumber Party

Wednesday, August 4

Pottery Painting/Glass Fusing

What’s a slumber party without popcorn and storytelling? During this slumber party not only will we tell stories and eat popcorn but we will also paint our very own personal popcorn bowl!

Just in case the stories get scary your child will create their very own glass night light cover.

Pajamas are optional! 

 

Happy Birthday to Me!

Thursday, August 5

Clay Hand Building/Pottery Painting

Today we will be celebrating all of our birthdays with birthday cake and projects!

We will start out by creating and painting a cupcake box by using a clay hand building technique.

A rimmed dinner plate will be painted by your child applying a tracing technique to write “Happy Birthday” or “You Are Special Today” on the rim and then decorating the rest of the plate in their own unique way. Everyone in the family can use this dinner plate on their special day!  

 

Go Fish

Wednesday, August 25

Ceramic Bubble Painting Technique and Clay Hand Building

You may think this sounds fishy, but it is going to be a whole lot of fun! We will start off the session by taking a ball of clay and turning it into a really great looking fish! This will be done by a hand building technique and will be painted the same day.

A very unique bubble blowing technique that will be applied to a 6” tile and a ceramic fish add-on will be painted and attached to the tile creating an underwater scene.
