Toddler Pottery Making Course

Toddlers are naturally curious and enjoy the feeling that clay gives their little fingers.  With clay, they will learn to mould, shape, knead, roll and flatten clay.  These creative movements are part of their growing up process.  At Clay Cove, we’ll nurture this ability and teach them to create plates where they can tell imaginative stories!

It’s suitable for children above 36 months and below 5 years old.

It’ll cost $100 for 4 sessions and they will learn to create and paint 2 pottery masterpieces!
