We would love to have your young artist/s join us to spend a few days getting their hands into clay with us during the Thanksgiving break! Camp is a great way for artists to try out the ceramics medium if they are thinking about joining a session of classes, and also just a fantastic way to spend some of that time away from school doing something educational and fun! Campers will learn different hand-building techniques to create different ceramic sculptures, as well as try out the pottery wheel. Campers will learn about the ceramic process from wet clay to finished ceramic, including the firing & glaze processes. All tools and clay are included in the registration fee. Please note that due to the nature of ceramics and the firing process, camper's artworks will not be ready to take home on the last day, but will need to be picked up at a later date. We will reach out to notify parents when finished pieces are ready for pick up.
