PAUD Tunas Melati Tempel mengadakan program pembelajaran luar kelas sekaligus pengenalan lingkungan ke StudioKeramik PPPPTK Seni dan Budaya. Sebanyak 16 siswa beserta para guru dan orang tua bermain dan belajar menggunakan media tanah liat.Tanah liat dibentuk dengan peralatan yang sederhana, bahkan hanya menggunakan tangan langsung menjadi benda-benda unik dan lucu. Siswa-siswi yang relatif masih kecil, sangat senang dengan kegiatan ini; karena tanah liat memang media yang sesuai untuk melatih motorik halus maupun kasar. Dengan bimbingan siswa-siswa prakerin SMK, anak-anak membuat beberapa bentuk benda seperti mangkuk, piring, figurin ular, kura-kura, bunga dan lain-lain.
Kegiatan berlangsung sekitar 1,5 jam; waktu ini dirasa cukup agar anak-anak tidak merasa jenuh. Hasil karya nantinga akan dikeringkan dan diberi glasir untuk kemudian dibakar pada 1100 C.

• The glaze won’t stick
• It will possibly crack and melt the clay
• If the clay isn’t high firing but the glaze is, it will end up ruining the pot
