Discover the magic of clay during our Spring Break ceramics camp for ages 7-12! Join us for three days of hands-on pottery adventures, where young artists will discover the joy of working with clay.
During each three-hour session, children will explore basic hand-building techniques in our bright, supportive studio environment. Students will plan out their projects via sketches, then they’ll learn to create with pinch pots, coils, slabs, and various attachment methods. Our projects may include crafting a sculpted animal, designing a functional piece (like a personalized vase, or pencil holder), and creating a decorative wall hanging.
We will be using underglaze for their pieces during camp sessions, so there will be no need to come back to glaze pieces this year! Each student will bring home three finished, fired pieces that showcase their growth.
While our experienced instructors guide each step of the process, we encourage young artists to experiment and express their unique vision. There’s no pressure to make things “perfect” – we celebrate each child’s individual artistic journey and give them the freedom to explore their imagination.
Class sizes are small (8 kids per session), so instructors are able to provide a good amount of one-on-one instruction throughout the morning. On the last day of class, students will have some set time to give the pottery wheel a try! Please note that anything created on the wheel will be recycled, as these pieces will not be fired to take home.
Want to explore the wheel a little more? While this camp mainly focuses on hand-building techniques, families & kids interested in wheel throwing can join our Family Wheel class, offered Sunday afternoons.
