Kids, Youth and Teen Programs
At the Kawartha Potters Guild, our classes and workshops for kids, youth, and teens are all about sparking creativity, building confidence, and getting hands dirty in the best way possible. Young artists of all skill levels are welcomed into a warm, supportive environment where they can explore the magic of clay—shaping, sculpting, and glazing their own unique pieces. Whether they’re hand-building whimsical creatures or learning the potter’s wheel, these sessions are about more than just pottery—they’re a chance to express themselves, make new friends, and discover the joy of creating something from scratch. It’s imaginative, enriching, and a whole lot of fun.
