Who wants want a castle of their very own? In this half-day summer clay camp, that dream can become a reality as students explore creating a tall clay castle (maybe with a dragon crawling up the side).

Using basic clay hand-building skills, students will construct a tower and other architectural marvels, and design the inhabitants who live there. Students will decorate their castle sculptures with non-toxic colorful glazes and then Clay Center staff will fire them in our kilns. Pieces will be ready for pick-up within two weeks of the last day of this course. Absolutely no prior clay experience is needed for this monumental week of fun!
