Clay Mobile
Springfield Pottery has partnered with the Springfield Regional Arts Council to develop and create the Springfield Pottery Claymobile program. The Springfield Pottery Claymobile is a mobile ceramic education outreach program dedicated to serving Springfield and neighboring communities through programming suitable for public and private schools and community based organizations.
The Claymobile is a fully stocked van that transports all materials needed for clay workshops – including the teachers! All completed artwork is fired at the studio of Springfield Pottery and returned to the host site.
