Pottery-on-Hudson has an arts program that brings out the creativity in children. Our experienced teachers help the children find the artist in themselves with fun and challenging projects each day. You can book our summer program by the week. All materials are included. Children should wear old cloths.

Mornings 9 am - 12 pm
Ages 6 – 9 years
Each day the instructor will teach various hand-building and/or wheel-throwing techniques as well as ideas for projects in which those techniques can be applied. Projects can include both sculptural and/or functional work. Children will glaze their work on the last day of camp, and parents can pick up their work two weeks after camp ends. Children are encouraged to create their own unique pieces. All experience levels welcome. A snack is provided mid-morning.

Afternoons 1 - 4 pm
Ages 10+
Each day the instructor will teach various hand-building and wheel-throwing techniques. Students are encouraged to develop and execute their own projects with the assistance of the instructor. Both functional and sculptural techniques will be taught. Students can focus their time on the wheel if they like. The pottery will be glazed on the last day, and parents can pick up their children’s work a couple of weeks later. All experience levels welcome. A snack is provided mid-afternoon.

BIRTHDAY PARTIES

The birthday child chooses a project ahead of time, (project choices can include mugs, platters, sculptures, coil pots or picture frames) and then the children spend the first 1 1/2 hours of this 2 hour party creating the clay project.
