KIDS POTTERY CLASS: Fun with Clay

What is it?

A comprehensive ‘Ceramic Workshop’ for kids & young adults consisting of 8 sessions per month conducted every weekend by skilled experts at ”AGS” (Apparao Galleries Secret Garden Studio)

Pottery for kids is one of the most creative activities you can let your child experience as kids are naturally both creative and inquisitive.

All the classes will be handled by practising artists with great skill. There will be a continuity in the  teachers with visiting guest faculty occasionally as a surprise .

Why we love this? 

We all know kids love to draw pictures for their parents, friends and relatives. What's so great about pottery is that there is no template to stick to. There is no right or wrong but only self-expression. Pottery lends a whole range of health and mental benefits for kids including better hand eye coordination, stronger motor skills, stronger problem solving skills and so much more.
