Pottery Studio:
The Pottery Studio has been in existence for over
40 years and provides an environment for individuals interested in creating
objects out of clay. The main focus of the pottery program is to provide a safe

their own pace. This activity results in individuals feeling a sense of
accomplishment and joy, which is the essence of recreation. The
