Summer Clay Camps (AGES 10-16): Wheel throwing

Summer Clay Camps: Beginner Wheel Throwing & Intro to Hand-building, Ages 10-16

These camps are designed to get our youth engaged in the art of ceramics and throwing pottery on the wheel. These fun & engaging classes will be a bright spot in their summer!   


This camp is designed for students with little to no experience on the wheel, but welcome those with experience as well. It will run from Monday through Friday, 9:00am - 11:15am. Open to ages 10-16, $250/week. Students may register for just one week to learn basic wheel throwing, or up to THREE weeks for a more immersive and complete clay experience!  All tools, materials, glazing, firings, etc. are included. LIMITED SEATING: ONLY 8 SPOTS PER CAMP!

  • Registration for ONE week will be structured to concentrate on learning the mechanics of wheel throwing and have a light introduction to "hand-building."  
  • Registration for TWO weeks will give the student the ability to build upon their skills for wheel throwing, as well as provide them the opportunity to do additional "hand-building" projects with clay, if they desire (we will tailor the second week towards what they enjoy doing and what they want to learn).
  • Registration for THREE weeks will offer the student additional opportunities to build upon their wheel-throwing skillset, create hand-building projects, AND glaze their own pieces!  


Dates for Summer Camps:

  • June 19 - June 23
  • June 26 - June 30
  • July 10 - July 14
  • July 17 -July 21
  • July 24 - July 28
  • July 31 - August 4

Summer Clay Camps (AGES 10-16): hand-Made pottery Projects

Summer Clay Camps: Hand-Building (Non-Wheel Pottery Projects Built by Hand), Ages 10-16

These camps are designed to get our youth engaged in the art of ceramics and creating pottery by hand (non-wheel pottery projects). These fun & engaging classes will be a bright spot in their summer!   


This camp is designed for students with any amount of experience with clay (no experience is required). It will run from Monday through Friday, 9:00am - 11:15am. Open to ages 10-16, $190/week. Students may register for up to THREE weeks for a more immersive and varied clay experience!  All tools, materials, glazing, firings, etc. are included. LIMITED SEATING: ONLY 8 SPOTS PER CAMP!


  • For each of these camps, we will utilize hands-on learning to teach students multiple techniques while they create a variety of pieces, both functional and sculptural.
  • We will tailor the projects in each camp based upon the experience and desires of the students that participate, and we pride ourselves on providing a supportive community environment in which our students can express their individuality while building up their confidence working with clay!
  • We will draw on a number of hand-building skills to teach: slab work, pinch pots and/or coil building, and students will learn multiple techniques that are utilized in sculpture work.
  • In each of these camps, students will be able to glaze their own pieces!
  • "Hand-Building" (a term that potters use for pottery projects that are not done on the wheel) is a fun and exciting artistic skill with almost endless possibilities, and we specialize in creating a non-intimidating atmosphere in which students will be challenged but still have fun!
