Clay Play Summer Camp
Get Creative This Summer!
Decker-Smith Pottery is so excited to offer week-long Clay Play Day Camps in our studio this summer! Kids will get to experience all things clay, and make tons of cool creations in the process.
We would love to have your child(ren) join us!
Here are the dates:
June 17-21, 2024
July 15-19, 2024 (for 4th - 6th graders)
August 5-9, 2024
Book now to hold your spot!
Get your hands dirty!
At Clay Play Camp participants will sculpt, hand-build, coil-build, slab-build, use texture, carving, and applique, decorate, glaze, and see how the kiln works.
But the most exciting part is always seeing pottery made on a potter’s wheel. I’ve lost count of the ooohs, ahhhhs, and wows I hear when I demonstrate throwing on the wheel. Your child will see how it’s done, and get to try it themselves!
