This summer, the Wissahickon Valley Public Library is thrilled to host the “Clay Bowl Workshop for Kids,” a captivating event scheduled for Thursday, July 11, 2024, from 2:00 pm to 4:00 pm. Located at 650 West Skippack Pike, Blue Bell, this workshop offers a unique opportunity for children to dive into the world of clay and creativity. Aimed at fostering imagination and artistic skills, the event is designed to allow kids to craft their own clay bowls under the guidance of skilled instructors, with the added delight of taking their creation home.

The workshop is specifically tailored for children aged 9 to 12, providing them with a nurturing environment to learn and enjoy the process of clay bowl making. Participants will be taken through each step of designing and shaping their bowls, before the creations are sent to be fired in a kiln. This hands-on experience not only introduces the children to new skills but also imbues in them a sense of accomplishment upon seeing their completed work. Due to the personalized nature of the workshop and limited availability, interested parties are encouraged to secure their spots by signing up in advance. Furthermore, attendees will be reminded to return to the library a few weeks later to pick up their finished bowls, allowing them to see the stunning results of their efforts.

Organizers emphasize the significance of registering only if one intends to attend, to ensure every interested child gets a chance to participate. The event is free of charge, making it accessible to all who wish to attend. The “Clay Bowl Workshop for Kids” not only stands as a testament to the Wissahickon Valley Public Library’s commitment to community engagement but also serves as a wonderful way for children to spend part of their summer vacation. This event invites kids to immerse themselves in the joy of making, providing a platform for creativity that will surely leave a lasting impression on their young minds.
