"At Clayworks on Columbia, things got a little spooky during the Children's Clay Class fall session. With Halloween approaching, the students, first through sixth graders, made ghosts, pumpkins, witches, black cats and other eerie creatures out of clay. The class meets weekly on Sunday mornings to turn mud into magic bringing endless imagination and inspiration. Their teacher, Demetria Chappo, a local Brooklyn ceramic artist, teaches the young clayers, beginning and advanced students aged 6-13, ceramic techniques on the wheel and handbuilding, like pinching, coiling, centering and slab-work. Some of their past projects have included banks, lanterns, face mugs, treasure chests and rattles.

The recent Halloween inspired work from the Kids Class will be on display October 30th through November 10th in the Clayworks Gallery Window at 195 Columbia Street (Sackett and Degraw).

The next Children's Clay Sundays begins November 3rd. For more information visit www.clayworksoncolumbia.org, or contact 917-428-3128 or info@clayworksoncolumbia.org."
