TEEN & FAMILY CLAY:

FALL KILL’S FREE SUMMER YOUTH PROGRAM

TEEN & FAMILY CLAY IS BACK!

Join us Friday evenings this summer for Teen & Family Clay - our free weekly ceramics workshop followed by a community dinner.

Designed for teens, children, families, and caregivers, this drop-in series offers a welcoming space to explore clay together in a relaxed, supportive environment. Each week will feature a different hands-on project led by local teaching artists, with opportunities to try hand-building techniques like pinching, coiling, and slab building, as well as wheel-throwing, glazing, and more. And after each workshop, we'll share a free dinner from a local Poughkeepsie restaurant and celebrate what we've made together!

No experience is necessary - everyone is welcome. Thank you to the City of Poughkeepsie for making this program possible through their generous grant support!
