This special, clay-only Art Academy is for 11-14 year old students who want an immersive clay experience. Throughout the six-week session, Clay Art Academy students will learn and practice foundational skills in handbuilding and glazing. At least three projects will be finished each six-week session and students can expect to make both functional and decorative pieces. Due to the nature of the medium and the high temperature fires, student work is occasionally damaged or a loss. We use these rare instances to teach students resilience and persistence. We do not offer make up classes.

Fall Art Academy 2024
Art Academy is an after-school class designed for students who wish to develop and grow their artistic aptitude. Throughout each six week session, students learn and practice foundational skills in the visual arts and are exposed to a variety of mediums in both the 2D and 3D arts. Art Academy students also develop strong visual literacy and critical thinking skills through looking at and discussing their own artwork and the artwork of others. For the 6-10 year old cohort, each class yields a "final" work or project that is shared and discussed. For the 11-14 year old students, the focus shifts to project based instruction with an emphasis on skill building.
Kids' Art Studio 2024
This summer's Kids' Art Studio will be an Encore! of our Art Below the Equator summer camps. Each day, we will take our inspiration from an artist or culture from the Southern Hemisphere to create a finished art project. Even though returning summer camp students may be familiar with the theme, the projects will be new. Unlike summer camp, students may attend one day, all four, or anything in between.

Discover the Art of Pottery
This summer we are excited to announce a clay specific half-day camp for our 11-14 year old artists. Students will explore the basic physical properties of clay by practicing a variety of hand-forming techniques, as well as throwing on the wheel, and glazing. Two days will be devoted to the completion of multiple hand built projects, one day to getting the feel of the wheel, and one day to glaze. Please note that students should not expect a completed form from their one day on the wheel. This is a time to play and practice, get dirty, and make mistakes!
