The Clay Box was designed by art teacher Ruth Post. Ruth has over 30 years of experience as an art teacher and has brought the joy of working with clay to thousands of children. Ruth knows that the art supply children are most excited about using is clay. It is the perfect tactile and moldable material for little hands to manipulate. To a child clay is magical. They love to squeeze it, poke it, pound it and shape it. When you combine clay with a child’s imagination the possibilities are endless. Providing children with monthly experiences using clay helps children to master the material. Children can then use clay as a medium to express their own ideas and life experiences through art making. Developing skills takes time and practice with any art medium. The Clay Box is a way to give your little artist the opportunity to make a new clay sculpture every month.
Ruth's mission is to help little artists grow into BIG artists.
