Clay Day at the Library, Presented by the Clay Studio of Philadelphia

Kids will roll up their sleeves and shape their very own clay masterpieces with guidance from expert instructors. Once the clay creations are complete, we'll add color with paint, then send them off to be fired in a real kiln! After a few weeks, come back to the library to pick up your one-of-a-kind glazed artwork — ready to display at home or gift to someone special!
