Stories from Community Arts
Meet Community Arts Assistant Isaith, and learn about Around the World in Clay.
Meet Isaith, a Port Chester resident, Clay Art Center student, and Community Arts assistant. His journey with clay began in our after-school program at John F. Kennedy Elementary School, followed by our Around The World in Clay program. Now, Isaith takes wheel throwing classes and brings his enthusiasm and infectious smile to his role as a Community Arts assistant. We look forward to seeing what Isiath does next in his clay journey at Clay Art Center!
Les presentamos a Isaith, un residente de Port Chester, un estudiante de Clay Art Center, y un asistente de Community Arts. Su trayecto con arcilla comenzó en nuestro programa extraescolar en John F.

Actualmente, Isaiah toma clases de torno cerámico y trae su entusiasmo y sonrisa contagiosa a su rol como asistente de Community Arts. ¡Nos animamos a ver el próximo paso para Isaith en su camino de arcilla en Clay Art Center!
Around the World in Clay is off to a great start! Now that we are a few weeks into our program, we wanted to give you an update about the awesome projects our students are working on. This week, students used coils to build and glaze flower pots under the guidance of our ceramics instructor and Westchester Community Foundation Fellow, Stephanie Perez. We’re happy to see the creativity on display as each student used their own style to create a flower pot that is unique to them.
Around the World in Clay ha tenido un gran comienzo! Ahora que ya pasaron algunas semanas del programa, queríamos actualizarles sobre los proyectos impresionantes en los que nuestros estudiantes están trabajando. Esta semana, los estudiantes usaron churros de arcilla para construir y decorar macetas bajo la guía de nuestra instructora de cerámica y becaria de la Fundación Comunitaria de Westchester, Stephanie Pérez. Nos alegramos mucho ver la creatividad en exhibición como cada estudiante utilizó su propio estilo para crear una maceta que le es única.
