Thanks for your interest in the Youth Ceramics Program. Our classes for the fall have wrapped up and we are taking a temporary pause starting January 2025. We plan to bring back this program with a fresh and exciting range of classes soon. Stay tuned to this webpage for updates as they become available.

In the meantime, if you have any requests for Arts or Ceramics Studio space, don’t hesitate to reach out to us at ceramics@jccsf.org.

Thank you for being such a valued part of our community—we look forward to reconnecting with you soon!

Youth Ceramics

Unleash your child’s creativity and passion with our fun-filled art & ceramics classes! Young artists craft, mold and create masterpieces.

During the 20-week session for 8 – 10 year olds, students will learn a progression of skills, making art and memories.

Classes will begin with several hand-building techniques (pinch pots, slab and coil), and then transition to learning to work on pottery wheels.

Kids learn patience and have a lot of fun while building a basic understanding about the longer process of pottery and ceramics as an art form.
