Drop by the Smart Museum of Art for a joyful journey of “clayful” activity led by guest artist Janiece Maddox.
During this monthly Family Day, create clay slabs, make tile relief sculptures, and collaborate at our one-of-a-kind clay-play table. Led by guest artist Janiece Maddox, the afternoon art activities are inspired by works on display in Ruth Duckworth: Life as a Unity.
FREE, drop-in. Art-making supplies and other materials are provided. Family programs are best for kids 4–12, but all ages are welcome! Children must be accompanied by an adult at all times.
