Summer Camps

Clay Camps in the Warehouse District

Located in a beautiful 100+ year old warehouse in Peoria's Warehouse District.  

Campers will learn the basics, and work on developing skills of making pottery using both hand-building and wheel-throwing techniques.  Each camp has a different focus of forms created.  We also play games and have time set aside for hanging out/playing with other campers. 

Campers will take hikes through the Peoria Warehouse District. They will learn about the relevance of these buildings to Peoria's history and the historic significance of Peoria, itself.  

Students will create up to 8 pieces which stay at the studio, have finish work, glazing and firing done to them, and are picked up at a later date.  Functional forms created will be food-safe, dishwasher-safe, microwave safe. 

Campers need to bring a lunch every day except for Friday (we do a pizza party).
