Providing pottery classes as an extra mural within the Centurion area. The key is finding a way to unlock that creativity and develop that natural ability.
Here at "Little Potters School of Clay" we believe that every person, both young and old has an artist within. Children are fearless and once they have realised the forgiving nature of clay, they experiment and let their imaginations run wild. Working with clay not only improves ones confidence, but greatly develops spatial awareness as well. Clay holds infinite possibilities and can be moulded to
almost anything your imagination can dream up. Extra Mural Pottery Classes:
All classes are based on a structured, age appropriate curriculum, which is revised annually to ensure projects remain new and exciting for the students. The curriculum is designed to build and develop both fine and gross motor skills. This curriculum includes hand building techniques such as pinch, coil and slab work. We believe in combining structured, pre-planned classes, while still allowing children the creative freedom to grow and explore. Roughly 20 projects are completed by the students during the course of the year (An average of 2 per month). The first class involves hand building and the second class painting the bisque fired piece. All projects are hand built by the students using the various methods as mentioned above. Pottery can help your child blossom and excel. Even with physical, emotional or learning challenges, they can experience success in pottery. Classes are 30 minutes and are held once a week. Fees: R180 pm/R450 per term/R1800 Annual
*Class fees include all materials
Aftercare Holiday Program:
During the school holidays, children can find themselves hard pressed for things to do. We come to your child's aftercare and will run a pottery program for the duration of the holiday, ensuring that your child is kept not only entertained, but engaged throughout the school holiday period. This program includes a series of projects completed using pinch, coil and slab techniques. Classes are 30 minutes and are held twice a week. Fees: R45 per child per class.

Private pottery classes. Should you prefer to have a private pottery class taught in the comfort of your own home, classes can be provided on a private, one on one basis. All that is required is a workspace/table area. All other materials will be provided for the class that day. Aside from the convenience factor, the benefits of private classes are personalised attention and focus. One on one classes are highly beneficial for children with learning disabilities or special needs. Classes are 30 -45 minutes and are held once a week between 13:00 and 17:00. Fees: R150 per child per class.
