Join The Magic House for Clay Play Day featuring all things ceramic! The Magic House staff artists will share their ceramic skills as they perform pottery wheel demonstrations throughout the day. Visitors are invited to get their hands messy by creating their own masterpiece using hand building techniques in the museum's Art Studio.
Clay Play Day will be held Saturday and Sunday, January 30 and 31 during museum hours. It's free with Magic House admission, but reservations are required.

Each lesson includes a custom pottery piece to take home. Reservations are required. Capacity is limited. Cost is $5 for members and $15 for non-membners and includes all-day admission to The Magic House.
