Summer Camp: 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. Campers will work in a variety of art mediums each week. 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: canvas painting with acrylics, watercolor painting, board art, 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. Projects will generally be ready for pick up by the Wednesday following camp. We will hold camper projects for a maximum of 30 days, please make arrangements to pick up all completed projects within that time frame.  

Who: Unless specified in the camp description above, all camps are appropriate for artists 6 years old and up, keeping in mind that camp is a drop off 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, 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 from 9am to 12pm, we ask that you arrive around 11:45am for pick up, artists often want to show you there work before they leave for the day. Artists are welcome to check-in starting at 8:50am and will need to be picked up no later than 12pm. There is a $1/minute fee for late pick up, please text 810-623-4887 to let us know if you are running late, we often can’t get to the studio phone during camp.  

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 necessary, we do take time for snack each day.
