Workshop Information
River Clay Studio workshops are rooted in the belief that working with your hands can bring people back to center. Each gathering is designed to create space for slowing down, exploring creativity, and making something meaningful. Whether for children or adults, the goal is simple: to foster imagination, build confidence through making, and offer a lasting connection to craft that carries beyond the studio
Hosted at Nest & Gather ~ New Haven, VT
Grounded Mornings ~ A slow and welcoming morning designed to help quiet the extra noise of everyday life. Join River Clay Studio for a gentle creative space to explore, learn, and create with air-dry clay. Templates and guided inspiration will be available, while personal projects are always encouraged.
This workshop is especially welcoming to caregivers, parents, and anyone craving time to slow down, reconnect, and create without pressure. Coffee and tea will be available as we gather in a calm, grounding environment where conversation, creativity, and the steady rhythm of working with clay offer space to pause and breathe.

Youth Clay Club ~ Air-Dry clay is a welcoming gateway into the world of ceramics. It dries naturally and is ready for painting and sealing within just a few days. This makes it an accessible, low-pressure way to explore the fundamentals of hand-building while engaging in rich sensory play.
Come when you can, there is no pressure or stress if life gets busy. Each session stands on its own, while repeat visits help young makers build skills, confidence, and connection over time. When you run out of punches, register again for more visits! Suggested age range 2-7 years old.
