Handbuilding in Clay
Dive into the world of clay as you learn coil, slab, and pinch techniques to create unique sculptures and functional pieces. Unleash your creativity, make new friends, and explore the art of hand-building in a supportive environment with the guidance of an experienced instructor and different projects each day.

Whimsical Clay Creations
In this teen clay camp imagine and engineer sculptural machines using hand-building techniques such as coil and slab building. These whimsical contraptions, reminiscent of Rube Goldberg designs, can serve various purposes: they can perform tasks, enhance decor, or contribute to personal rituals. For example, you might create a clay machine that clears negative thoughts or perhaps a decorative piece that doubles as a candle holder. In this class, the possibilities are endless as we make our clay sculptures interactive!
