​Colorful Clay Works Senior Living Art Programs

At Colorful Clay Works, we bring creativity and joy to senior living communities through engaging Colorful Clay Classes designed specifically for older adults. Our hands-on workshops provide a wonderful opportunity for seniors to explore their artistic side, socialize, and experience the many benefits of creative expression.

Why Polymer Clay?

Polymer clay is a versatile, lightweight, and easy-to-use medium that doesn’t require kilns or extensive hand strength, making it perfect for seniors of all skill levels. With its bright colors and soft texture, polymer clay allows participants to shape, sculpt, and create with ease—whether they are beginners or seasoned artists.

🎨 Floral Brooches & Pendants – Create beautiful, wearable art pieces.
🍂 Seasonal Decorations – Sculpt pumpkins, snowflakes, or spring flowers.
