Barro en el Barrio was an outdoor Claymobile program for older adults in the Norris Square community of South Kensington. Led by bilingual Teaching Artist Nitza Rosario, participants created a variety of projects from cups and bowls, to bird feeders and wind chimes during their 8-week hand-building course. Each session took place at Las Parcelas Garden between April and June 2021. For many of the participants, this was their first time working with clay.

The Catalyzing Creative Aging Program is presented by the National Guild for Community Arts Education in partnership with Lifetime Arts, and includes group training, one-on-one coaching, and funding.
