This hands-on summer clay camp introduces teens ages 10-13 to the fundamentals of ceramic handbuilding in a supportive, studio-based environment.
Over the course of the week, campers will learn core techniques such as pinch, coil, and slab construction while creating both functional and sculptural forms. Projects may include vessels, planters, tiles, and small sculptural pieces, with room for individual ideas and creative direction. Campers will explore surface design through texture, carving, and basic glazing, and gain an understanding of how work moves through the kiln process.
Instruction emphasizes craftsmanship, experimentation, and problem-solving, while encouraging teens to develop their own visual style. No prior clay experience is required. All materials, tools, firings, and instruction are included. Finished pieces will be available for pick-up 10 to 14 days after camp ends.
Fridays are a relaxed, open-ended “Play With Clay” day, giving campers time to experiment, refine ongoing projects, or try new techniques with guidance from instructors. Camp runs Monday–Friday from 9:00am–1:00pm.
We are hosting a variety of camps throughout the summer for ages 5-17, visit our website to learn more!
