Mud, Wheels and Little Hands: Drop‑In Pottery for Kids on the Pacifica Coast.
Set in a small studio environment in Pacifica, Kids and Clay is a drop‑in pottery session that puts young makers at the wheel and at the table to explore hand‑building and wheel‑throwing techniques. The operator frames the class as a supportive, intimate experience — limited in size to allow personalized attention — and presents the sessions as single, 90‑minute projects so families can join without committing to a multi‑week course. The program materials reference an age range in different places: the summary lists 10–16 while the session description notes projects intended for kids ages 6 and up.
