PLAY WITH CLAY: LEARNING WHILE EXPLORING WITH CERAMICS with Teresa Dorey

Students will use art as a modality for education with an emphasis on clay. This project aims to enhance
mindfulness and enjoy the experience of creating while learning new skills related to ceramics and science.
Students will create objects with clay while learning about the science behind ceramics. For instance, how clay
bodies are made from the earth, how knowledge of physics informs how to build sculptures and how chemistry
is needed for glazes, which is the equivalent of painting to ceramics. Each workshop will be unique based on
students’ needs, facilities and levels.

Themes: Other than Arts, the workshop incorporates elements of STEAM.

Materials: Artist can provide supplies.

Grade Levels: Kindergarten, Elementary Cycle 1, 2, 3, Secondary Grades 7-11
