Ceramics On The Go Kit

Ceramics On The Go 

Spring Project– Bowl

We know you miss our clay works class. So we have worked out a way that you can still get your artistic juices flowing again while we wait to have you back in the classroom. We are putting together Ceramics on the Go kits for you to pick up.

Packs will include: greenware, paint, brush(es). After you are done painting your project, you return it to us. At that point, our Clayworks instructor, Nancy, will come in and do the firing for us. Then we let you know when it is ready for pick up. $12 per kit    Call 860-441-6785 after 10:30 am  to register.

Interested in our OATS group?  Please reach out to Cindy at colsen@groton-ct.gov
