This two-week camp will meet Monday through Friday, 9am-12pm. During this course, students will make several hand-built items from plates, cups, mugs, vases, and bowls working up to the construction of a bird house. Pieces will be personalized with textures, carvings, drawings, and painting underglazes on. The second week will be glazing our first week's creations and the introduction to the pottery wheel where we will learn techniques of opening a bowl and raising the clay to make a cylinder.

On the last day of the course at 11 am, students will display all their creations and describe the techniques used in construction and decoration.
