Description
WEEK-LONG CLAY WORKSHOP: HAND-BUILDING AND WHEEL TECHNIQUES (12-14)
Work with your hands to create three-dimensional work in clay. Learn sculptural hand-building techniques and how to make vessels on the potter’s wheel. Finish your work with color using surface design applications and glazes. All levels are welcome; beginning students will focus on the fundamentals, while returning students will be guided independently in advanced techniques.
Caregivers will receive an email that the campers’ work has been kiln-fired and is ready to pick up approximately two weeks after the camp ends.
Campers now receive a Des Moines Art Center summer camp T-shirt as part of their tuition.
