TCSE Art Camps: The Basics

The Ceramic Studio Etc strives to provide a fun and explorative art experience for budding artists! Our fun and creative camp staff will inspire artists to draw, paint, squish and splatter their way to a masterpiece each day. Every week we will explore: clay hand building techniques, fused glass introduction, ceramic painting techniques and art journaling. Depending on the theme for the week we may also sprinkle in: painting with acrylics on board or canvas, watercolor painting, mixed media collage, metal tooling, alcohol inks and more!

Every week has a minimum of 6 completed projects to take home, some of which may need to be picked up the following week after firing. Campers can also choose to leave all of their projects with us for our Tuesday Art Show! Every Tuesday evening from 5-6:30 pm, we will have a mini art show where campers can show off their mini-gallery of completed projects with their friends and family!

Who?

Unless specified in the camp description above, all camps are appropriate for artists entering 2nd grade and above, keeping in mind that camp is a drop off event and parents do not stay on site for the camp day. We understand that every child is different, and may be mature for their age. However, our camps are geared to the ages specified (meaning it may be difficult to make some or most of the projects without more staff assistance). Please respect our age requirements, as they are set to ensure every camper can have a great camp experience. Our daily open drop in hours are perfect for younger artists to create with adult assistance and our story times are great for the youngest artists.

When?

Camp runs Monday-Thursday from 9am to 12pm, and we ask that you arrive around 11:45am for pick up since artists often want to show you there work before they leave for the day.

Cost?

$199 per artist, which includes all materials, firing of projects and Tuesday night Art Shows.

What to Bring/Wear?

Art camp can be messy! We encourage artists to wear comfortable clothes that are ok to get stained or bring a smock t-shirt for when we use non-washable materials. A water bottle and snack labeled with artist’s name is also encouraged.

Cancellation Policy

If you cancel 2 weeks or more in advance you will receive a – 90% refund, If you cancel inside of two weeks you will receive a 50% refund. No refunds for cancellations with less than 7 days notice.

"It was our first time painting or even handling ceramics and we had a blast! The staff listened when we had questions and they answered them thoroughly."

"My daughter had her 13th birthday party here with friends. They did a glass fusing project. The staff was so attentive and helpful with the girls!"
