Teacher Workshop: Create with Clay
Handbuilding techniques – pinch, slab, coil
March 11, 2026
In this hands-on, single-session workshop, educators will explore the foundational techniques of hand-building with clay, including pinch pots, coil forms, and slab construction. Participants will create their own clay project using classroom-friendly methods that can be adapted for a variety of grade levels.
Finished pieces will be fired after the workshop and will need to be picked up at a later date. Attendees who would like to add glaze are welcome to on Sundays 9-3pm to complete the finishing process.
No experience is required. Classroom teachers can earn two professional clock hours. This workshop is FREE for all Art Start NW partnership teachers and Para-professionals. Cost for non-partnership teachers, Para-professionals, and volunteers is $10. Everyone is welcome to attend, so bring a friend! All supplies are included. Light refreshments will be provided.
We are excited to work with our 2025-26 partnership schools: Chase Lake Elementary, Cedar Valley Elementary, College Place Elementary, Lynndale Elementary, Spruce Elementary, College Place Middle, Alderwood Middle and Madrona 7th and 8th grade.
