Clay Afterschool - Clay & Más

About this event

Clay & Más es una clase de cerámica bilingüe en un entorno en el que el español será la lengua vehicular para explicar los procesos creativos. La clase priorizará el hacer mediante prácticas iterativas arraigadas en la curiosidad y el descubrimiento. Durante este semestre nos enfocaremos en proyectos de barro inspirados en culturas, mitologías y leyendas latinoamericanas. Lxs estudiantes trabajarán en el torno y modelando a mano, utilizando diversas técnicas enseñadas durante el curso. También experimentarán con engobes y esmaltes para el acabado de sus piezas. La instrucción se ofrecerá tanto en español como en inglés, utilizando el movimiento, imágenes y demostraciones, por lo que el idioma se aprenderá haciendo y no traduciendo. Clay & Más fomenta el pensamiento creativo, el bilingüismo y la conciencia cultural, en un ambiente lúdico y acogedor. Clay & Más is a bilingual, Spanish-immersion clay class, process-driven, and rooted in curiosity and discovery. Through clay projects inspired by Latin American cultures, mythologies, and legends, kids explore storytelling, material, and technique while building Spanish vocabulary naturally through making. Students work with hand-building, the pottery wheel, slab roller, and extruder, and experiment with colorful slips, glazes, and underglazes. Instruction is offered in Spanish and English, using movement, images, and demonstration, so language is learned through doing, not translating. Clay y Más supports creative thinking, bilingualism, and cultural awareness, all in a playful, welcoming studio environment. At Artshack, we provide a safe space for children to take creative risks, collaborate with peers, and develop their unique artistic voice, all while deepening their understanding of art as both a practice and a form of personal expression. 𓏊𓏋𓎟𓎺 SPRING SEMESTER: April 13-June 26 𓏊𓏋𓎟𓎺 HOLIDAYS: May 25, May 27, Jun 4, Jun 5, Jun 19 = MONDAYS = ∆ Clay & Mas (7-11y) / 3:30-5:30 ∆ PRETEENS (9-12) / 3:30 - 5:30 PM = TUESDAYS = ∆ KIDS (5-8y) / 3:00 - 5:00 PM ∆ PRETEENS (9-12y) / 3:00 - 5:00 PM ∆ PORTFOLIO CLASS (9-13y) 4:00 - 6:00 PM = WEDNESDAYS = ∆ KIDS (5-8y) / 4:00 - 6:00 PM ∆ PRETEENS (9-12y) / 4:00 - 6:00 PM ∆ TEENS STUDIO MENTORSHIP (12-15y) / 4:00 - 6:00 PM = THURSDAYS = ∆ CLAY CLUB* (4-12y) / 3:00-5:00 ∆ PRETEENS ON THE WHEEL (9-12y) / 3:00-5:00‍ = FRIDAYS = ∆ KIDS (5-8y) / 3:00 - 5:00 PM ∆ PRETEENS (9-12y) / 3:00 - 5:00 PM //////////////////////////////// ***Pick-up Service Available: Arts and Letters 305 United (Tuesdays, Thursdays, Fridays) ‍ *CLAY CLUB Join us for Artshack’s first-ever Clay Club: a relaxed, drop-in clay studio on Monday and Thursday afternoons!
