Clay Club: Handbuilding & Creative Ceramics (Eliot)


NCE Elementary After School Programs / After School Classes for Eliot Students -
2026 Spring NCE Elementary

Clay Club is a fun, hands-on pottery series where students will learn foundational clay skills through sculpting pieces like pinch pots, trinket dishes, mugs, picture holders, magnets, and seasonal ceramics. Students will explore texture tools, molds (like stickers for clay!), learn how to attach pieces properly, and bring home up to 4 finished ceramic creations. No prior experience needed.

PLEASE NOTE: Pieces will be fired and glazed, so they are waterproof and food-safe, at the Pottery with a Purpose studio in Needham Heights (178 Crescent Rd. Needham MA 02494) and will be ready for pick up 4 weeks after the last class.

6 classes total

NCE begins immediately at the end of the school day. All students enrolled in an NCE class (including those in NEDP) will be dismissed from their classroom to the designated NCE waiting area, where they will be supervised by the NCE Onsite Coordinator until their NCE Class Instructor arrives. Students are welcome to have a nut-free snack during this time.

Pickup is promptly at 4:00pm. NEDP students will be escorted to NEDP at the end of their NCE class.
