It's time to get your apron on, put the pedal to the metal and get a little dirty.

Brooklyn Clay in Prospect Heights is where a little bit of patience could give you a keepsake to last a lifetime.

It's considered the most ancient art form, but many at Brooklyn Clay say it is also like childhood arts and crafts.
  
“It’s sort of like a combination between something that is really technical and something that makes you feel like you are 5,” says one participant.

Owners say don’t mistake the space for an art gallery. The Prospect Heights business turns you into the artist, sculpting and molding anything you can imagine. 

The shop also has a beer and wine license, allowing for some special occasions.
