Join us for afternoon art camp Monday through Wednesday of Thanksgiving week to get those hands messy, and spin those creative wheels. Campers will be exploring a variety of mediums, and color theory while improving techniques, hand-eye coordination, and problem solving skills. Each young artist will take home original artworks made 100% by their hands showcasing their creative choices.

This 8 class session will begin with hand-building techniques to provide better understanding of the ceramic medium before working on the pottery wheel. Artists will learn about the full ceramic process from creating their own ceramic pieces, the firing process, as well as glazing. Students will learn how to use ceramic tools and equipment from needle tools and ribs to slab rollers, extruders and electric wheels. Artists who have taken this course with us will be able to continue building on their skills and knowledge with different projects that we demonstrate, as well as learning how to develop their own ideas and projects with the teacher's guidance. The class is 2 hours once per week for 8 weeks. The registration fee includes clay, use of tools and supplies. Please note that we are unable to offer make-up classes, nor a pro-rate for future missed classes. Once the session is over you will receive an email notice that the ceramic pieces have completed their glaze firing and are ready for pick up. This typically takes a week or two after the session wraps up.
