Inspired Projects: From tiles and treasure jars, dishes, vases, votives, and critters, each day includes a demonstration followed by guided crafting, sculpting, and decorating.

Surface Design & Glazing: Dive into surface techniques with stamps, roulettes, and carving tools. Bring your creations to life with vibrant underglazes.

 

Class Highlights:

Inspired Design: Campers are encouraged to lean into their imagination, have fun and bring their individual ideas to life.

Structured Learning: Campers receive guidance on how clay behaves and how to build sturdy structures.
