Young Potters · Muddy Makers (ages 5–9)

12 weeks · Tuesdays 4:30–5:30 PM · ages 5–9 · EAPS Long Beach Muddy Makers is our playful, skill-building ceramics program for young artists ages 5–9. Over 12 weeks, students are introduced to working with clay through hands-on projects that emphasize curiosity, coordination, and creative confidence. Classes focus on foundational techniques — pinch, coil, slab, texture, and simple surface decoration — in a calm, supportive studio environment. Each session balances structure and exploration, giving students space to experiment while learning how to work thoughtfully in the studio. Finished ceramic pieces are glazed, fired, and ready to take home at the end of the program — and the season wraps with a Family Art Show where every young potter's work goes on display.
