This is a two-week summer course designed for young artists aged 10-13 who are excited to explore the world of clay and develop their creativity through hands-on pottery experiences. Throughout the camp, participants will be guided through a series of fun and engaging projects, each designed to help them develop their skills and imagination in 3D art. Kids will have the opportunity to explore different sculptural and functional ceramic creations, from textured clay creatures to personalized trinket boxes. We will explore a variety of handbuilding techniques such as pinch pots, coil building, and slab construction, while fostering self-expression and confidence in the artmaking process.

Course Highlights:

  • Introduction to handbuilding techniques (pinch pots, coils, slabs)

  • Open ended prompts for each project to allow for creative expression and problem solving. 

  • Explorations of textures, sculpting, underglaze, and glaze.

  • Small group sizes for individual attention and guidance.
