Clay Club
Clay Club is a hand building class where we focus on coiling, pinch pots and slab building our creations out of clay. Each month I provide a theme and each student designs their own project. We start with drawing their concepts and then we formulate a plan for how they are going to turn their drawings into 3 dimensional projects. Each artist comes out with their own unique masterpiece!
Em’s Art Shack is located 6 houses away from the middle school on Gray Avenue! I will greet them with an afternoon snack and a little free play time before we jump into clay!
You have 2 options for this class:
Tuesdays from 3:30 – 4:30
Thursdays from 2:30 – 3:30
Classes are limited to 8 students. These classes are for kids 3rd grade and up.
Cost: $60/month*

Clay Club for Homeschool Kids – NEW!
New this year! I am offering a late morning Clay Club specifically for our community’s homeschooled kids! This is a hand building class where we focus on coiling, pinch pots and slab building our creations out of clay. Each month I provide a theme and each student designs their own project. We start with drawing their concepts and then we formulate a plan for how they are going to turn their drawings into 3 dimensional projects. Each artist comes out with their own unique masterpiece!
The themes for this club will vary by individual. We will determine early in the year what sorts of things they are interested in, and we will create projects around those ideas.
I am currently offering this Club on Wednesdays from 11am-Noon.
Classes are limited to 8 students. These classes are for kids 5 years and up.
Cost: $60/month*
*Monthly tuition reminders will be sent out the first week of each session. No payment is required at this time.

Pottery Club
Come join me after school for Kids Pottery Club at Em’s Art Shack! (Ages 10+)
I am located 6 houses up from the Greenwich Middle School, so your kids can walk to me right after school! I will greet them with an afternoon snack and a little free play time before we jump into clay!
This pottery club focuses entirely on building the skills needed for throwing pottery on the wheel. Beginners are welcome, but they must have an open mind for learning through failure. Pottery is a VERY difficult skill to master, so having an open mind to accept that some days, the experience alone may be all that you have to show for your efforts.
Each week, our class begins with a wheel demo and I will work with each artist to help them to achieve that form. In addition to learning pottery skills, each artist will learn the ins and outs of the clay studio: How to wedge and recycle clay, clean up their wheels, load kilns and keep a tidy studio. My hope for this class is for artists to learn throwing techniques to build functional pottery to be used for a lifetime!
You have 2 options for this wheel intensive:
Wednesdays from 3:30-5pm beginning Wednesday September 27th.
Fridays from 2:30 – 4pm I will be starting this class on Friday, September 22nd, but I will be skipping Friday, September 29th – I’m out of town for a wedding).
Classes are limited to 6 students. These classes are for kids ages 10+.
Cost: $80/month
*Monthly tuition reminders will be sent out the first week of each session. No payment is required at this time.
Covid: We will follow the CDC guidelines for Covid protocols. If your child is not feeling well, please keep them home.
