2025 Summer Camp, Ages 9-12, June 16-20

Service Description

What Kids Will Experience Kids 9-12 will practice on the pottery wheel (but won’t keep wheel-thrown pieces) and create take-home handbuilt projects. They will also learn how a kiln works, see how pieces are loaded, and get an introduction to the chemistry of ceramics. Every afternoon, kids will paint, sketch, and work on creative writing prompts, expanding their artistic skills beyond clay. Limited to 12 total kids per session for a hands-on experience with plenty of individual attention. 6 younger kids & 6 older kids will participate in separate activities, with one combined group activity per day.

Snack – Kids will have a scheduled break, so please pack a small, nut-free snack. Clothes that can get messy – Clay and glaze can stain, so we recommend old clothes or an apron. Safety & Supervision Our staff ensures a low student-to-teacher ratio for individualized guidance. Kids will be supervised at all times during wheel practice, handbuilding, and painting sessions. We use kid-safe, non-toxic materials, and all tools are demonstrated safely before use. Campers will also learn about how kilns work and see how pottery is fired, with age-appropriate explanations of ceramic chemistry. ​Firing & Pickup of Finished Work Handbuilt pieces will be fired and available for pickup 2-3 weeks after camp ends. Families will be notified when projects are ready. Wheel-thrown pieces will not be kept, as this is a practice-only activity for kids.
