In celebration of the upcoming 11th Annual Empty Bowls event at HCCC, join us in creating small, swirly pinch bowls. Volunteers from the Houston Polymer Clay Guild will teach participants how to combine three colors of clay to create a “marbled” effect. Kids will then use this colorful clay to create their own handmade pinch bowls. While waiting for their bowls to be baked (about 20 minutes), participants are encouraged to visit the Front and Main Galleries to see the variety of bowls on view in our current exhibitions.
HANDS-ON HOUSTON is a free drop-in event held the first Saturday of every month (except January and July in 2015). Each month, a teaching artist demonstrates a craft related to the current exhibitions. Families and children of all ages are welcome to come any time between 11 AM and 3 PM and participate in a 15-20 minute activity. Materials are provided. This program supports HCCC’s mission to advance education about the process, product and history of craft. More information at https://crafthouston.org/learn/education-overview/.
