The KC Clay Guild's board members are currently developing programs that will allow underprivileged children, special needs children / adults, and senior citizens to come in and work with clay FOR FREE! The details of these programs are being ironed out as we search for grants that will fund these great pottery classes. We believe everyone should have the oppourtunity to experience the joys of working with clay. It is very theraputic and can be a relaxing exercise.
