Join us for Clay y Más our new clay class taught in English and Spanish starting January 2023! We'll tell a story through the body of work we develop using a series of sophisticated art and ceramics techniques. Our teachers will help children build a Spanish vocabulary through their art practice. Profiency in Spanish is helpful but not required. All students will learn hand-building as well as how to use the pottery wheel, the slab- roller, and the extruder, plus a wide range of pigmented slips, glazes, and underglazes. When the kids need a break from clay, we do mixed media projects including printmaking, watercolors, sculpture, and fiber arts, among more.

_____________________________________________________________
We offer two tiers of tuition for pod classes. We recognize that our class tuition is on the higher end - this is because we pay our teachers fairly and it costs us a lot to process and fire the work the kids make. Ceramics is expensive- $75 per class per student is what it costs us to run the class. We also have between 1/4 and 1/3 of kids on full scholarships, and we hold free and subsidized classes for kids and community groups regularly. If you are able to pay the full price for your pod, please do. If you need to pay less, we are offering a second tier of tuition that's about 33% less. Please see below for more info about the tiers. If you need a scholarship, please email dini@artshackbrooklyn.org to receive the scholarship application form.
The following is only a rough guide to help you with what level to pay. Tiered tuition is on an honor system- we will not review your financial documents.
