The INFINITY Science Center

Ceramic Engineering Workshop
2026-09-26 10:00 - 12:00 (America/Chicago) | INFINITY Science Center
Workshop Description
Join Artist/Engineer Steve Barney for a hands-on STEAM workshop where art meets aerospace! Inspired by the historic Saturn V rocket on display at INFINITY Science Center, participants will learn the basics of ceramic sculpture while exploring the principles of rocket design and engineering. Using simple slab-building techniques, students will create their own small rocket ship sculptures out of clay.
This fun, hands-on session introduces key concepts in space exploration, material science, and design thinking while encouraging creativity, problem-solving, and cross-disciplinary learning. Designed for ages 8 and up, no prior clay experience is required.
Completed sculptures will be kiln-fired and ready for pickup at the museum approximately two weeks after the workshop.
Participants will also enjoy museum admission at the discounted rate of $10, which is included in the ticket price.
