Guardian + Child Magnet Making Workshop | 9/20/2025

$75 Per Slot - includes admission for one legal guardian and one child

From 11 am - 12 pm

Join Pewabic Education Studio Assistant, Michelle Durham, and learn alongside your child in this 1-hour workshop, where both participants will create 4 magnet designs of their own using clay slabs, colored slips, and their imagination! 

Children must be accompanied by an adult, and vice versa. Once fired, your magnets will be ready for pick-up at a later date. Workshops are reserved for children from 7 to 15 years of age and for guardians ages 18+. 

Check out some examples of Michelle's magnet creations, pictured below, and learn more about her process by visiting her website, Inner Child Ceramics. Michelle Durham is a ceramic artist currently working in and from Detroit, Michigan. She received her Bachelor of Fine Arts from Wayne State University in 2024 and works as the Education Studio Assistant at Pewabic Pottery. Most recently, her work was featured in Michigan Ceramics 2024 Biennial Exhibition and Competition, EMERGENCES, BFA Thesis Exhibition, Wayne State University, and at Fresh Looks, an exhibition for emerging artists held at Eastern Michigan University. She was sponsored in 2024 by Wayne State University’s Undergraduate Research and Creative Project Award for her work titled “Clay and the Inner Child: An Interactive Experience.”  With the motivation of healing and connection, she wants to merge ceramic arts into a pathway to help others connect creatively with their inner world.
