Creative Exploration

Weekly Pottery Incursion: Creative Hands, Calm Minds

Why Pottery?
Pottery offers students a unique hands-on experience that nurtures creativity, focus, and self-expression. Working with clay engages the senses, builds fine motor skills, and encourages problem-solving through play.

Benefits for Students:
✨ Supports Emotional Wellbeing — Clay is naturally calming and helps reduce stress and anxiety. It provides a mindful break in the school week.
✨ Builds Confidence — There’s no ‘wrong’ in clay; students learn to embrace mistakes and enjoy the creative process.
✨ Develops Skills — Improves hand-eye coordination, strengthens fingers and wrists, and supports visual-spatial awareness.
✨ Fosters Community — Working alongside classmates builds connection, respect, and teamwork.
✨ Links to Curriculum — Pottery ties into art, history, culture, science, and sustainability, providing a rich, integrated learning experience.

How it Works:

• 6-Week Term Program

• 1 session per week — each building on skills from the week before.

• Age-appropriate, inclusive projects for all abilities.

• All materials, tools, and kiln firing included.

• Finished pieces to take home or display at school!

• ​

A pottery incursion is more than an art class — it’s an opportunity for students to explore their creativity, slow down, and feel proud of what they make with their own two hands.
