Young artists painted their clay masterpieces during their third session of the Newtown Community Center’s Clays the Way program on the evening of November 21.

The weekly program began November 7, and already students had created a variety of clay projects, including snakes and snails, that were ready to be painted.

Longtime Newtown art teacher Leslie Gunn instructed the class and helped them on their art journey.

Students worked independently but offered each other encouragement and praise throughout the class.

There will be a total of seven sessions for Clays the Way.

Newtown Community Center Program Coordinator Jennifer Cebry says people can still sign up mid-way and that there will also be a new eight-week session beginning in January 2020.
