About Chris Targoni:
"I grew up on the coast of California in a very creative family. As a child, I was given many opportunities to make art, some of which involved clay. In high school and college, I took ceramics classes and I loved working on the wheel. My wife and I moved to DC in 2015 for a teaching certification program. I have been teaching elementary art since the 2016-2017 school year. In this work I have been able to give many students some of their first experiences with clay. Through Community Clay, I hope to help more of DC’s residents get access to pottery through community, school and family partnerships." |
Community Clay! by the District Clay Center brings free clay and ceramics classes to the youth of DC, with a focus on Wards 7 and 8.
We are launching an exciting new program with DC Public Schools this fall to bring the joy of clay to hundreds of school kids during the 2020-21 school year. To learn more please visit our Community Clay! website. |
