Intro to Clay Session (cost is $20: Clay and tools provided). The class is about 2 hours long and shares basic knowledge of clay and the process of hand building. No clay skills are necessary. The purpose of the Clay Studio is to connect with others and give back to our community. You'll be creating your own succulent pot to keep and one to give to Saddleback's care ministry to share hope.

In future Saturdays, you will come back to trim your pieces and paint with your choice of glaze!

Limited to 6 participants.

Please join us in the Arts Center as we create in response to scripture. We gather every 1st Monday of the month.

Whether you’re a singer, a dancer, a poet, a painter, or even just a doodler, together we’ll look at a section of God’s word and create in response. We’re excited to connect with God and make from our unique shapes as creatives. Let’s inspire others with fresh ways of encountering God through his powerful Word and our humble creativity.
