Clay Art Projects

I 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!” Browse our clay art ideas from creative pinch pots to more complex clay builds to tips for using clay glaze with groups 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.
