TEEN & FAMILY CLAY
Teen & Family Clay is back! We are thrilled to offer our free, weekly ceramics workshop and dinner on Friday nights this summer. Teen & Family Clay is a drop-in series designed for young ones, families, and caregivers to explore clay together in a relaxed, 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. Whether you’re new to clay or have some experience, these sessions are a great way to slow down, connect, and enjoy the creative process.
After each workshop, we’ll share a free community meal from a local Poughkeepsie restaurant and celebrate what we’ve made together!
