Bring your favorite characters to life in clay! Teens will explore handbuilding and sculpting techniques to create detailed figures, imaginative creatures, and unique personalities. From pets and heroes to original creations, campers will learn how to shape, texture, and express character through clay, turning ideas into three-dimensional works of art.

Note on firing: All work will be fired and ready for pick up in the Kimball Art Center 7 days after your class. We do not ship class work. If artwork is not picked up after 60 days it will be recycled. *Since artwork may look different after firing, make your pottery or sculpture recognizable by carving a signature into your piece. On the last day of camp, please join us for an art show to photograph work before it gets fired!
