In this fun and tactile camp, kids will learn the foundational skills of working with clay. Students will get hands-on experience with both the pottery wheel and hand-building techniques. Campers will throw on the wheel at least three times and complete at least two unique hand-built projects. Perfect for young artists who love to get their hands dirty and explore the possibilities of pottery!
Projects will be fired and ready for pick up approximately 1 month after the camp is finished. A Spiva staff member will notify you via email and by phone when pottery pieces are available to be picked up.
