Arts on Fire

Perfect for ages 7–14 who love working with their hands and want to explore the art of 3D creation. This short course is ideal for beginners and young artists curious about sculpting.

What They’ll Learn

In this 9-week course, students will:

• Create 2-3 pieces of work
• Learn sculpting basics including shaping, joining, and texturing air-dry clay
• Explore how to add detail and dimension to their designs
• Finish their piece with paint to bring their sculpture to life
• Build patience and creativity through hands-on work with clay

Why It Matters

Sculpting teaches more than just technique — it develops fine motor skills, spatial awareness, and problem-solving. Students will experience the satisfaction of starting with raw material and ending with a finished, personalized artwork they can proudly display at home.
