Kids Clay Camp
ages 10+
This 5 day camp will teach kids a variety of techniques both through wheel throwing, handbuilding, and surface design. (Think of it as a clay multi pack camp!) Projects include, but are limited to cups, bowls, mugs, and plates. After the completion of the camp, we will fire and glaze all of the projects and return them within 2 weeks. Classes are 2 hours. No previous clay experience is necessary but returning campers from pervious years are welcome.
Parents are welcome to drop off children or stay and watch.
Ages: 10+
Cost: $240/week, includes all materials. Payment is due at registration. Please sign up each child individually.
Classes are kept small to ensure that kids get good instruction and attention.

Ages: 12+
Cost: $240/week, includes all materials. Payment is due at registration. Please sign up each child individually.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. What’s new this year in camps? All projects are new! We have our camp for younger kids (6+) to Jr Clay Camp which are all hand built projects. Our Clay Camps (ages 10+) have 2 days on the wheel and 2 days of hand building with the last day for painting with underglazes.
2. Can I drop off my kid(s) or do I need to stay? That is completely up to you! We find often that kids create a little more freely if parents leave but you are certainly welcome to stay as well.
3. What if my child is slightly younger than the required age for the camp? You know your kid more than we do! Just give us a call and let us talk it through with you.
4. Do we offer any camps that are just on the wheel? Last year we added a day of hand building to our wheel camp to introduce kids to a different way of making in the clay that allowed them to build and create larger pieces. Throwing on the wheel is difficult and our 5 day wheel camps were producing A LOT of hockey puck-sized pieces and we want to allow kids to have more ways to express their creativity. (please note that our wheel continuing education camp is the exception to this and any pervious clay campers or pottery basics students are welcome to attend.)
5. Are camps refundable? Due to the high demand for our camps, we do not offer refunds but are happy to do our best to move campers into different time slots if possible.
