OEV Villager July:Aug 2025

Join us this Summer at Clayworx by Jen Pastorius As the Clayworx Ceramic Arts Learning Centre Execu- tive Director, I am lucky to get to see each day just how powerful working with clay can be. Whether it’s a child proudly holding up their first handmade clay masterpiece or a community member discovering a new creative outlet, there’s something truly special about what happens in our studio. This summer, we’re inviting even more people into that experience. Our Kids Summer Camps are back, with half- and full-day options for ages 7 to 12 and 13 to 17. These camps aren’t just about making art—they’re about having fun, getting messy, and building confidence. We also know that access matters. That’s why we offer the Clay for Kids Bursary Program so that finances aren’t a barrier to participation. If you or someone you know could use a hand, check it out at clayworx.ca/clay-4-kids-bursary-program.

And if you’ve ever wondered what we’re up to behind the studio doors, we’d love to show you around. On Saturday, July 19, we’re hosting Try Clay Day—a free, drop-in event open to everyone. You can explore our 7,000-square-foot facility, meet our teaching artists, and even try your hand at clay. No experience needed—just curiosity. At Clayworx, we believe creativity belongs to everyone. We’d love to welcome you or your family into our space this summer. Come get your hands dirty—you might be surprised by what you create!
