During Spring Break, Clay Camp at Maker House was a hit. As one first grader put it, “This is the best camp I’ve ever been to. Everyone, raise your hand if you love Clay Camp!”
With guided instruction and plenty of room for imagination, kids will learn hand-building techniques, design their own projects, decorate their creations, and bring home treasured works of art. Class size is limited to ten, ensuring each child receives individual attention. Materials, clay, tools, and kiln firing are included. Campers provide their own lunch and snacks.
Students will spend the first half of each day building a project and the other half glazing their wares, with a short break in between. At the end of the week, Maker House will fire and glaze the work, which will be ready for pickup up a week or two after the camp.
