Outreach

Outreach

Northern Clay Center’s ClayToGo and ART@HAND outreach programs bring the ceramic arts into the community! Whether at a school, library, senior living facility, adult day center, or summer camp, NCC can bring the materials and teaching artists with clay expertise to your location! The wonders of handbuilding with clay can occur almost anywhere and NCC’s talented teaching artists love to share their knowledge and love of clay with the community!

How Partnerships Work

We create a custom program, adapted to the needs of your population and to the strengths of NCC’s teaching artists. NCC works with our partners to secure grant funding and we are dedicated to finding continuing partnerships to make these important programs available to a broader audience. We welcome conversations about ways in which to ensure long-term collaborations to sustain these important programs and learning opportunities.

ART@HAND
Programs for Vital Aging

ART@HAND is a branch of NCC’s outreach programming designed specifically for vital aging and the needs of the 55+ community. These programs for enjoyment of the ceramic arts are intended for individuals 55 years old or greater (and their families). ART@HAND includes hands-on activities, lectures and tours, and drop-in workshops.
