Success Zone / Bhuchar -
2024 Fall

Nexplore Pottery offers a unique outlet for young artists to sculpt their ideas into one-of-a-kind creations, fostering self-expression and building confidence. This multisensory craft offers joy in experiencing the touch, smells, and sights of clay. Students learn to strategically use a pottery wheel and sculpting tools to create imaginative projects. Manipulating clay helps students understand that they can change something with their own hands and influence the outside world.
