Mommies and Babies - 4 Week Program at Roncesvalles

Clay With Me Mommies and Babies is a 4-week program designed to create community for mothers who want to connect with each other through clay-based workshops. This is perfect for mothers with babies 0-8months old who seek a safe space where they can create a series of unique ceramic pieces alongside other women who are sharing the same experience of motherhood. Each 2 hour class includes complimentary snacks and coffee and is led by an experienced instructor who provides personalized guidance and assistance with the babies through out the workshop. By the end of the course, aside from creating connections with other mothers and babies in your community, you will have created at least two decorative and/or functional ceramic pieces containing the mark of your infant’s hand or foot imprint, all of which will be bisque fired, glazed, and kiln fired to be food safe and dishwasher safe.
