One Day Clay-cation for Kids
About
A full day of clay for ages 6 to 14: wheel throwing in the morning, lunch and a neighborhood walk for inspiration, then handbuilding and surface design in the afternoon, with instruction, tools, clay and firing included. It runs at both Choplet studios, 238 Grand St in Williamsburg near Bedford Ave (L) and 121 Meserole Ave in Greenpoint near Nassau Av (G). Tuesday, March 9, 2027, 10 am to 4 pm, $180. It is the only kids' ceramics date on our calendar in March so far.

New to pottery?
Most first classes are either a wheel taster, where you learn to centre clay and pull up a cylinder, or hand-building, where you shape a mug, dish or planter with pinch, coil and slab techniques.
- Wear clothes that can get muddy and keep nails short; rings and bracelets come off before the wheel.
- Expect two to three hours for a single session. Clay, tools and firing are almost always in the price; glazing sometimes costs extra.
- A one-time class is the cheap way to find out whether you want a five- or six-week course, which is where the wheel actually starts to click.
Taking it home: Not on the day. Pieces dry, are fired, glazed and fired again, so studios usually hold them for two to four weeks.
