About This Event

ABOUT POTTERY CAMP:

Ages 6-14 years old


Pottery Camp invites campers to explore the fundamentals of ceramics while combining ART with STEM! There is a different theme every week, allowing endless opportunities to create and explore their imagination. Pottery Camp follows the same themes and times as our STEAM Summer Camp, but is separate from STEAM. Campers cannot be enrolled in STEAM and Pottery Camp for the same week(s). Please see "STEAM SUMMER CAMP" below for more details!


Students learn from professional art educators and d'Art's on-site resident artists. Throughout these weeks they work collaboratively, enjoy short field trips, and create unique art projects using a variety of media and techniques. Field trips include weekly excursions to the Chrysler Museum to view their current exhibitions, a demonstration at the Perry Glass Studio, and a mural tour of the NEON District.


IF YOU ARE REGISTERING MULTIPLE CHILDREN, PLEASE COMPLETE (1) ORDER AT A TIME PER CHILD. COVA ONLY ALLOWS COMPLETION OF (1) REGISTRATION PER ORDER.


STEAM SUMMER CAMP:

We also offer STEAM Summer Camp alongside Pottery Camp! d'Art's STEAM Summer Camp follows the same themes and times as Pottery Camp, but includes all other arts outside of pottery. Campers cannot be enrolled in STEAM and Pottery Camp for the same week(s). To register for STEAM Summer Camp, please use the following link: https://covatix.com/events/steam-summer-camp-6-19-2023

Our Resident Artists provide 45 minute to 1 hour demos each week at STEAM and Pottery Summer Camp. These demos provide a look into our artists techniques and creative processes!


FRIDAY ART SHOWS:

Every Friday is an Art Show day at STEAM! This is an allotted 30-minutes for campers to show off their work and collect all the artwork they made over the week. There will be (2) separate times for Art Shows - this is to avoid traffic jams in d'Art's parking lot. These times will be sent via email after registration closes for each week of camp.
