Claymobile Creations 2021
A Virtual Coil Bowl Extravaganza
Beginning in June 2020, the Claymobile program transitioned to Zoom for all of our programming with students. Featured in our Claymobile Creations 2021 show are the work of students who participated in our virtual Claymobile programming this fall. Each student made a coil bowl utilizing a clay kit with instruction from a Teaching Artist over Zoom. In addition to coil bowls, students made pinch pot pumpkins, name plates, animal head sculptures, and masks or face sculptures. 2020 has truly been an adventure and we are so thankful to our Claymobile partners for venturing into the unknown of virtual clay programming for their students. Providing a creative outlet during this times is essential!

The Clay Studio is rooted in the belief that all people deserve access to high-quality arts education, and assumes a strong responsibility to engage all segments of its local community.
Since 1994, Claymobile, our award-winning community engagement program, has collaborated with schools, neighborhood organizations, and other social service agencies throughout the Philadelphia region to create innovative, hands-on approaches to learning in a safe and supportive environment. Today, the Claymobile is recognized as one of the most cost-effective arts education opportunities in the region, and serves as a model for similar programs offered around the country.
Community Impact
Many children and adults in the Philadelphia region lack access to arts experiences in their schools and neighborhoods due to budget constraints, a focus on achievement testing, and the stressors of poverty. We need your support to continue to make a positive impact on the opportunity gap for youth right in our communities.
