Frequently Asked Questions
-
Our camps are designed for two age groups: 10–14 and 14–17.
Each week alternates between the two groups to ensure campers are learning alongside peers at a similar skill level. -
Campers will create multiple ceramic pieces throughout the week, including both wheel-thrown pottery and hand-built projects.
Projects may include things like:
Cups and mugs
Bowls and plates
Sculptures and decorative pieces
Themed projects based on that week’s camp theme
Every camper will finish the week with several unique pieces they designed and created themselves.
-
Not at all! Our camps are perfect for beginners.

-
Campers should bring:
Clothes that can get messy
A water bottle

Yes — and that’s part of the fun!
Pottery is a hands-on creative activity, so campers will likely get clay on their hands and clothes while working. We provide aprons, but dressing for mess is recommended.
-
Pottery needs time to dry, be kiln-fired, glazed, and fired again, so finished pieces will be ready approximately 3–4 weeks after camp ends.
Parents will receive an email notification when artwork is ready for pickup.
-
Camp runs during the morning, so lunch is not provided. Campers are welcome to bring a small snack and water bottle.
-
Yes! Many campers sign up for multiple weeks.
Each week features different projects and themes, so returning campers always create new pieces and learn new techniques.
-
Because projects build throughout the week, make-up sessions are not available for missed camp days.
However, campers will still be able to complete projects even if they miss part of the week.
-
Camp registrations are non-refundable, but if plans change we may be able to transfer your registration to another camp week if space is available.
-
We intentionally keep camps small so every student receives individual instruction and support.
This helps create a relaxed, fun, and focused creative environment.
