Join The Magic House for Clay Play Day featuring all things ceramic! The Magic House staff artists will share their ceramic skills as they perform pottery wheel demonstrations throughout the day. Visitors are invited to get their hands messy by creating their own masterpiece using hand building techniques in the museum's Art Studio.

Kids and teens ages 8-15 can learn the basics of using a potter's wheel to make functional clay pieces and non-functional sculptures in Clay Class: Wheel Throwing at Laumeier Sculpture Park. They'll study the fundamental techniques of wedging, centering and raising cylindrical forms such as bowls, cups and vases. 

The Magic House is offering the opportunity to enjoy private playtime in a special exhibit area of The Magic House or MADE for Kids before opening to the public! You choose the location and up to 10 family members or friends to enjoy your private morning. Stay and play after in the rest of the museum. Reservations must be made in advance.
