🎨 Unlock Your Child’s Creativity with Our March Break Handbuilding Program! 🎨

Are you searching for a fun and enriching activity for your child or teen during March Break? Look no further! Our exciting handbuilding and ceramics program offers a unique opportunity for kids and teens to explore their creative potential through the art of clay.

 

Why Choose Handbuilding?

Handbuilding is more than just crafting with clay—it’s a hands-on experience that fosters imagination, dexterity, and self-expression. Through guided instruction and hands-on activities, participants will learn various handbuilding techniques, including pinching, coiling, and slab-building, while creating their own unique masterpieces.

  • Individualized Learning: Whether your child is a beginner or has some experience with clay, our program offers personalized instruction tailored to each participant’s skill level and interests.
  • End-of-Program Celebration: The week concludes with a special exhibition and celebration, giving participants the opportunity to showcase their handbuilt creations and share their accomplishments with family and friends.

Benefits for Your Child:

  • Develops Creativity: Encourages imaginative thinking and problem-solving skills.

  • Builds Confidence: Provides a platform for self-expression and creative exploration.

  • Enhances Fine Motor Skills: Improves hand-eye coordination and fine motor skills through hands-on activities.

Campers enjoy a wide variety of age appropriate daily activities designed to meet the needs of all who attend. Our experienced, caring staff is committed to making sure every child feels welcome.

When you sign-up for a camp, you will need to complete a camp registration form (which includes a medical release). We need a non-refundable deposit to hold your spot and you can provide payment over the phone or pay in person during regular studio hours.

Our Summer Camps, Christmas Camps, and March Break Camps have earned us several Reader’s Choice Awards and are one of the most successful programs we offer at the Studio. Specific camps, such as the Girls Only Summer Camp, can fill as early as 3 months before they start. Campers will enjoy working with many different mediums such as clay, green ware, bisque, and canvas.

Please remember to pack your child’s lunches, snacks and beverages (water bottles) with no nuts.  Also please dress to impress! Although we provide aprons and disposable gloves – the acrylic paint will stain their clothes. You can send money for popcorn or snacks at the movie theatre if you wish. Thank you – See you Soon!
