Clay Art Projects

We love creating ceramic projects with kids and adults. It is always so fun when you get to tell your group that it is “clay day today!” Search our clay art ideas from simple pinch pots to more complex clay builds to tips for using glaze with a group of kids.

If you are new to working with clay or teaching ceramics to elementary students, I would start with just this step-by-step pinch pot tutorial or our favorite flower pinch pot lesson.

And don’t forget about different ways you can add color to clay. From using oil pastels on clay to our tips for using clay glazes in an elementary art class.
