Teens Wheel Throwing Intensive Camp – July 2026

July 6th – 10th | 9:00am – 12:30pm | Ages 10-16 | $300 plus tax

In this 5-day camp, teens will take a deep dive into the world of ceramics and wheel throwing. We’ll learn through hands on lessons, starting with the fundamentals of centering, opening, pulling and shaping with different skill-building lessons and challenges each day.

No experience needed, but this class is limited to ages 10 and up as real wheel throwing requires some upper body strength and ability to work with the hands. The other summer camps also do wheel throwing but in a more kid-friendly way.

Each day will have 90 minutes of wheel throwing, 30 minutes snack break and 90 minutes with a different creative activity, including clay hand building, glow in the dark, and more.

Monday: Wheel throwing basics : bowl & candle holder project + Clay hand-building

Tuesday: Straight side bowl (cylinder) challenge & closed forms lesson + Glass Fusing

Wednesday: Working with larger amounts of clay + nail & string art

Thursday & Friday: Height challenge & Independent projects with help from staff + Ceramics / glow-in-the-dark painting

Campers will make 1-2 projects per day and may have any number of items fired in our kiln. Items will be ready for painting 1 week after the camp. Painting of one item is included for free, painting additional items $20 per item.

Please pack a nut-free snack for break time
