Pullman Summer Clay Camp: July 9-11: Under the Sea

Tidepool bowls with aqua-scapes, ceramic starfish and sea life windchimes. Potters will also have an opportunity to create a fish-shaped plate! Campers will utilize slab-building and other beginner sculpting techniques to create pottery that we can’t wait to sea! Kids and tweens will create one-of-a-kind tidal pool trinket dishes, with an underwater seascape under melted glass. Campers will also create ceramic windchimes and follow their inspiration to sculpt other functional pottery with instructional support from the Terracotta team.

Day One: Tweens and kids will learn the basics of pottery and become oriented to the studio and how to use our tools, equipment and share a community studio, in addition to starting their slab-building process of creating and carving unique sea life themed windchimes and miniature sea-floor creatures for their tidal pools.

Day Two: Students will resume their windchime work, paying special attention to finishing touches, and preparing their pottery for the drying process.

Day Three: Students are encouraged to create what inspires them, using the skills they’ve developed over the previous two days.

Prices include all instruction, clay, tools, kiln firing, and dip glazing. Pottery is generally ready to pick-up two weeks after creating.

Campers are grouped with peers to ensure positive, age-appropriate projects, instruction, and social experiences.

Camps occur Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday. Add Friday for a bonus day of wheel lessons, fused glass creations or custom glazing project for $49.
