🎨 Summer Pottery Camp for Kids (Ages 8–13)

Give your child a creative, hands-on experience they won’t forget this summer. At GPP, campers will spend the week learning the fundamentals of pottery in a fun, supportive environment designed just for beginners.

Students will explore both the pottery wheel and hand-building techniques, creating their own unique pieces while building confidence with clay. With small group instruction (max of 5 students), each child receives plenty of guidance and one-on-one support throughout the week.

On the final day, campers will glaze their favorite pieces, which will be professionally fired and ready for pickup a few weeks later. Each child will take home 2–3 finished creations—perfect for showing off to family and friends.

Best of all, you get all the creativity without the mess at home—we handle everything here at the studio.
