Teens summer camp
Summer Camp classes are three hours long from 1p - 4p, four days a week (Monday through Thursday) for two consecutive weeks: a total of 24 hours of instruction.
Please arrive at least 10 minutes before class starts to get settled at your pottery wheel. Summer Camp for Teens (grades 9 - 12) is tailored to the experience level of the group, which may vary from beginner to intermediate. More advanced students are encouraged to assist and guide others in a collaborative environment.
Week One will include a review of basics (centering clay, pulling cylinders with control, testing and controlling wall thicknesses) and may then move into more advanced techniques and design challenges: making matching pitchers, plates or cups, designing a lidded pot, considering tall vase forms and surface pattern.
Each student is encouraged to share drawings or designs from their own research, and all are invited to explore Inspiration pieces on display, as well as books and magazines in the ViaClay library. All materials and supplies are included; ViaClay never charges for firing time.
