Welcome to the Clay Studio, an integral part of the Braddock Creative Arts Program. Our ceramics studio is well-equipped. The students and campers who participate in clay classes and workshops have the opportunity to explore a variety of techniques through the equipment in the studio.
It is important that people of all ages and levels of interest find the studio as a place of possibility, discovery, and therapy. Please see the images of classes and workshops that have taken place since summer 2005. We hope you will join us. Come down for a visit. Try out the clay if you want.
