TEEN + FAMILY CLAY

Teen and Family Clay is back! 

We are thrilled to bring back our free summer youth program, made possible by generous support from the City of Poughkeepsie!

Teen & Family Clay is a weekly drop-in series designed for young ones, families, and caregivers to explore clay together in a fun and supportive environment. Each week offers a new hands-on project led by local teaching artists, with opportunities to try pinching, coiling, slab building, wheel throwing, glazing, and more. These sessions are a great way to slow down, connect, and enjoy the creative process. After each workshop, we’ll have a free meal from a local Poughkeepsie restaurant and celebrate what we’ve made together!

We are thrilled to bring back our free summer youth program, made possible by generous support from the City of Poughkeepsie!

Teen & Family Clay is a weekly drop-in series designed for young ones, families, and caregivers to explore clay together in a fun and supportive environment. Each week offers a new hands-on project led by local teaching artists, with opportunities to try pinching, coiling, slab building, wheel throwing, glazing, and more. These sessions are a great way to slow down, connect, and enjoy the creative process. After each workshop, we’ll have a free meal from a local Poughkeepsie restaurant and celebrate what we’ve made together!
