Clay |
Young clay enthusiasts will be given an opportunity to get their hands dirty and enjoy creating fun, yet surprisingly sophistaced, clay sculpture. We'll wedge, roll, coil, slab, paddle, pinch, cut and press our way through engagin clay projects each day. Everyone will be challenged at a level appropriate to their age and skill level. Campers will learn how a lump of raw clay can transform in their hands into lovely objects, useful in the home or garden. Clay pieces will be fired in our on-site kiln. A variety of decorative media—such as low-fire glazes, slips, and watercolor paint—will be used to give each project a finished appearance. Every week we'll offer new projects. No repeats. |
