Teen Clay Camp: Pottery Wheel, Slab and Coil Techniques - Oh My! - [June 8 - 12th Afternoon]

A group of friends enjoys a creative clay modeling session, laughing and sharing ideas as they craft together.

🔥 Teen Clay Intensive 🔥

June 8-12th • 1:00 PM – 4:00 PM • Ages 12+

Get ready to get your hands dirty. This Teen Clay Intensive is a focused, week‑long ceramics camp for teens who want real studio time, real skills, and real take‑home work. Over five afternoons, students will dive into pottery on the wheel and handbuilding — learning how clay actually works from start to finish.

🏺 What You’ll Do:

This camp is all about experimenting, building skills, and leveling up in the clay studio.

You’ll learn:

🌀 Pottery Wheel Basics

Centering, pulling walls, and shaping bowls, cups, and other forms on the wheel.

🧱 Handbuilding Techniques

Slab and coil construction for sculptural and functional pieces you can’t make on the wheel.

🎨 Surface Design & Glazing

Add color, texture, and personality to your work and learn how glazes transform in the kiln.

🔥 The Full Clay Process

From wet clay to finished, fired ceramics — including drying, glazing, and firing.

Expect lots of hands‑on studio time, step‑by‑step guidance, and space to experiment, mess up, and try again.

💥 What You’ll Take Home:

By the end of the week, you’ll head home with:

• Multiple finished ceramic pieces

• Wheel‑thrown and handbuilt work

• A solid understanding of clay and glaze

• More confidence working independently in the studio

• Actual pieces you’ll want to keep (or gift!)

  
  

Perfect for teens who like working with their hands, want to try something new, or are already into art and want to go deeper.
