Summer Camp | Wheel Throwing (Ages 14-18)

Combining craft, community and creativity, this introductory course investigates the techniques, materials, and themes common in wheel-thrown ceramics.  

Through hands-on instruction, students will be encouraged to develop the foundational skills surrounding wheel thrown forms such as making handles, trimming pots, decorating the surfaces, and applying glaze. Students will leave class with a foundational knowledge of clay and various ceramic processes. This weeklong section is perfect for students who want to discover the basics of throwing with a cohort of fellow artists. 

Camp is designed for kids aged 14 – 18. Tickets are $225 ($180 for members).  Reserve your spot online or with Guest Experience at (479) 657-2335 today.
