In this 8-week class, students will explore porcelain as a material for wearable art while learning ceramic decorating techniques specifically suited for jewelry making. Participants will design and create porcelain beads, earrings, and pendants, focusing on clean construction, durability, and refined surface detail. Techniques may include stamping, carving, slip decoration, underglaze, decals, luster, and glaze applications.

In this one-day ceramics workshop, participants will learn how to transform their pottery into blooming works of art by carving floral-inspired designs into clay. Using simple carving and surface design techniques, you’ll explore how to shape, layer, and carve into leather-hard clay to create petals and organic textures that make pots resemble flowers.

In this playful and hands-on clay camp, kids ages 5–8 will explore the exciting world of clay through imagination, storytelling, and creative building! Young artists will squish, pinch, roll, and sculpt clay as they create meaningful projects such as name plates, food plates, animal sculptures, pinch pots, maracas, and more. Each day invites students to learn new clay skills while turning simple shapes into fun, expressive artworks that reflect who they are and what they love.

This camp is for students age 9–11 and brings the heat with a fun, summer-themed clay adventure! Throughout the week, young artists will learn fundamental handbuilding techniques—such as pinching, coiling, slab building, and sculpting—as they create sunny, seasonal projects inspired by all things summer. From ice-cream bowls and ocean-themed creatures to sunshine sculptures and tropical decorations, campers will explore texture, shape, and form while developing their creativity and confidence in clay.
