The Quarry Art Centre’s After School Programme is a 6‑week course inviting students to creatively explore clay making and mixed‑media art. In term 2, students will learn foundational clay building techniques of coiling, slab-building and sculpting. The lessons are guided by tutor Jennie Payton, who will guide the students in creating a project designed on expressing who they are. 

The programme will end with the opportunity of glazing their tiles to add colour and finish. Concluding with a collaborative exhibition celebrating their creations.
