Little Kids' Clay Camp
Learn more about clay and the pottery studio! Anyone 13 and under is welcome as we play with clay!
Service Description
Come and learn in my garage studio as we explore coiling, sculpting, throwing, and more! Students will have fun learning how to manipulate and create with clay---and each student will have at least one finished piece that can be picked up after it gets finished and fired. Four days in a row of fun projects! Watch for July Teen Camp coming soon too.
Upcoming Sessions
Cancellation Policy
Classes are for ages 18 and over unless specifically marked as all ages. Students must be at least 12 to sign up for the wheel throwing classes. A glazing workshop can be added to your experience if you choose this finishing method. You may want other cold finishes depending on the item(s) made. All materials for classes are provided including aprons, but students are encouraged to wear clothes that could get a little dirty. You may want to remove jewelry that you think might get in the way. Additional clay used beyond the amount allotted for the pieces can be purchased. Students may not bring their own clay due to issues that could arise with firing to the wrong temperature. To keep the space and participants healthy, no sanding of your work should take place in the studio. The last part of class will be cleaning and returning items to where they belong. Help to reduce waste and recycle clay that doesn't get used. Remember that clay has a memory and may warp or crack at the high temperatures needed for firing. Use water sparingly as you work to prevent cracks, and choose which pieces are your best to fire. It's good to be willing to remake a piece that you are not 100% satisfied you want to keep. All projects should be signed (and labelled while in process.) NEVER TOUCH ANOTHER STUDENTS' WORK WITHOUT PERMISSION. Clay can be more fragile than you think.
