Youth Summer Session 1
Youth Clay Camp Session 1
5 Class Course
Starts July 8th
Instructor: Jacquie Blondin
Camp Information
Our Youth Clay Camp is designed to bring out the creativity in our Campers!
Through step-by-step instructions and hands-on help, Campers will learn how to work with clay, create, and decorate several pieces during the week. Campers participate in various instructor-led projects that transform into glazed keepsakes to take home. Both our YCC instructors have ceramic/art training and teaching experience.
Once camp ends, these clay creations will need to dry thoroughly. Our YCC instructors will then bisque-fire and clear glaze each piece, resulting in a vitrified, dishwasher/food-safe memento. Once these works of art are ready for pickup (approximately 4–6 weeks after the session), families will be contacted by the email provided at registration.
Fee includes one bag of clay, glazes, firing and full use of studio.
To Bring:
- Apron/smock
- Hand towels for clean-up while throwing (1 or 2 is good)
- Pottery tool kit… if you own one from a previous class
- Mask (non-medical)*
- New Tool kits ordered for this session will be available for pick up your first class
*Participants must be willing to wear a non-medical face mask that fully covers the nose, mouth, and chin while in the studio. This policy is subject to change at the instructor’s discretion.
