FINAL TWO WEEKS OF SUMMER CAMP! Comment “summer” for a link to book!
Our Kids Summer Clay Camp is a hands-on, week-long experience where young artists create a new project every day while learning real pottery techniques in a working studio.
From pinch pots and slab building to sgraffito carving, coil-built vessels, and even their first time on the pottery wheel, campers will explore every step of the ceramic process—including glazing, kiln loading, and clay recycling.
Inspired by artists like Picasso, Roberto Lugo, Zizipho Poswa, and the rich tradition of Mexican Talavera pottery, each week ends with a collaborative group project and a collection of handmade pieces to take home.
