introducing summerART Pottery camp!
This year the Yard School of Art is excited to offer four two-week sessions of Pottery Camp in our new Ceramics Studio. This camp is for children and teenagers who are interested specifically in working with clay to create pottery, sculpture, and more. Children are grouped in age-specific classes (6 8, and 9 12). Campers will have the opportunity to use the Museums diverse collection of Native American pottery as inspiration. Much of the work created in Pottery Camp will be kiln fired; some will be functional, some will be decorative, and all of it will be treasured for years to come.
