Pottery Field Trips & School Fundraisers in Catawba County and Beyond

Teachers, PTO leaders, daycare directors and homeschool parents: if you're looking for a field trip, family night or fundraiser that kids actually get excited about, pottery is it. CREATIVE works with schools across Catawba, Lincoln, Iredell, Alexander and Burke counties, in our studio or right on your campus.

Field trips to our studio

Bring your class, homeschool group, scout troop or camp to our studio in downtown Claremont for hands-on art. We host groups of 6 to 30 painters, and up to 40 for clay at CREATIVE Clay. Our water-based, non-toxic materials wash easily off clothes, kids and surfaces. See field trips.

We come to your school

Can't get everyone on a bus? We'll come to you, for up to 300 kids at once, space permitting. All we need is tables, seats, water and an outlet. We bring the pottery, paints, brushes and our team. See We Come to You.

Fundraisers that sell themselves

Parents happily buy what their kids made. That's why our fundraisers are so easy:

• Holiday ornament nights: our most popular. Families paint ornaments, and we fire and return them before winter break.
• Handprint keepsakes: plates, mugs and ornaments for Mother's Day, Father's Day and the holidays.
• Family fun and Fine Arts nights: a project for every age.
• Tile murals: a lasting legacy on your campus, and a great fundraiser.

A percentage of every sale goes back to your school or group, with online ordering or school-managed options.

Daycares and preschools

Handprint plates and clay hand impressions make sweet keepsakes for families, and an easy fundraiser for your center.
