Markets and Services

The educational benefits of allowing children the experience of working with clay are widely recognized and as such, are part of many schools board curriculum's across Canada and the U.S.A. Teachers, parents, schools administrators, businesses and government have vested interests in “enrichment programs” such as Clay for Kids, which visit the schools and various groups to enhance the curriculum. As Jenny McGee, an Art Specialist quotes,” Clay for Kids links the arts to the classroom and really brings the curriculum to life”.

Because special facilities are not required, Clay for Kids can easily go to the classroom, Guide and Scout group, birthday party and other special event.

This varied market is present in all urban areas of North America enabling this proven business concept, based on over 24 years of successful operation, to be developed as a franchise.
