Service Description

$325 · Ages 7–14 · M/W/F 9am–12pm · 6 kids max · All materials included · Polymer clay take-home on Friday · Ceramic pieces kiln-fired and ready for pickup 2–3 weeks after camp ends This week is all about expression. Kids will build ceramic faces, masks, and character pieces that can be funny, eerie, dramatic, beautiful, strange—or all of the above. Monday starts with a slab-built mask base, then moves into sculpting features: brows, noses, cheekbones, mouths, horns, ears, scales, hair, or anything else the face seems to need. Kids will learn how a small change in shape can completely change a mood. Wednesday, once the masks are leather-hard, they’ll carve in detail—lines around the eyes, texture in the hair, scars, wrinkles, patterns, or surface decoration that makes the piece feel fully alive. If time allows, they can begin a smaller portrait tile or second face. Friday is for underglaze painting, when color changes everything. Then they’ll make a polymer clay face pin or magnet to take home that afternoon—a tiny wearable or giftable version of the week’s strange little masterpiece. Camp runs with a minimum of 3 enrolled students. Families will be notified in advance if minimum enrollment is not met.
