Bring the whole class to Riverhouse
A half day in the studios on 150 acres in the Mobile-Tensaw Delta: hands in wet clay, paint on paper, thread through cloth. The tables are laid out before the bus turns in, and every child carries home the thing they made.
What the day includes
Hands in the materials
Two studios in one morning, with a working artist sitting at the table in each. A child pushes a thumb into wet clay, lays paint on paper, or pulls a thread through cloth. Nobody watches from the side.
Room for your group
We take up to 28 children at a time, in groups small enough for the artist to reach every pair of hands. Tell us the ages and we set the morning to suit them.
Time outside
Lunch can be outdoors when the weather is kind, and there’s room for a walk if your teachers want to take the group out. Everyone stays together.
What a visit costs
$36 for each child
That covers both studios, the clay, the paint, the thread, and the piece each child takes home. We invoice once we’ve agreed a day, so asking costs you nothing.
If cost is what’s in the way, say so. We can cover up to 3 children in every group of 14. It’s a normal thing to ask, and it stays between us.

Send us the shape of your visit and we’ll write back within two working days.
