Kids Holiday Hand Building Workshop
Kick off the holiday season with a festive morning of pottery at L’Atelier! On Sunday, December 8th, from 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM, we invite young artists of all ages (5 and up) to join us for a special pottery experience, with guidance tailored to each child’s age and skill level.
In this festive workshop taught by local artist Demetria Chappo, kids will have the opportunity to hand-build their own holiday gifts, such as ornaments, candle holders, and menorahs. After shaping their pieces, they'll enjoy decorating them with colorful, food-safe underglazes. We’ll handle the final steps of glazing and firing to make sure each piece is ready for pickup right on time for the Holidays!

- Ages: 5 and up; all ages welcome with age-appropriate guidance
- Instructor: Demetria Chappo, experienced ceramics instructor and artist

About the Instructor:
We’re thrilled to welcome Demetria Chappo, a Kingston-based ceramic artist with extensive experience teaching ceramics to both adults and children. Known for her hand-sculpted, nature-inspired designs and intricate craftsmanship, Demetria brings her passion for storytelling and ceramics into each of her creations. Her love for sharing the “magic of clay” has led her to teach at many wonderful community studios and art schools, including Clayworks on Columbia, Educational Alliance, Bklyn Clay, and Artshack Brooklyn. Demetria’s inspiring approach to teaching will add warmth and creativity to this holiday workshop, and we’re excited for her to bring this experience to L’Atelier.
This workshop offers kids a unique chance to explore the world of pottery, create holiday keepsakes, and learn from a talented artist. Space is limited, so reserve a spot today!
