This week-long, full-day camp offers a hands-on introduction to the art of ceramics, where students will master foundational hand-building techniques including pinch pots, coil-building, and slab construction. Throughout the week, campers will learn to manipulate raw clay into both imaginative sculptures—such as monsters and gnomes—and functional household items like planters, trays, and plates. Participants will develop essential motor skills and tool proficiency while exploring structural techniques to build height and strength in their work. We will also dive into surface design by using found objects like leaves and stamps to press unique textures into the clay, finally concluding the camp with an introduction to underglazes, where students will learn to apply decorative details and vibrant color to their custom creations.
