  • Claymagination Art Camp at Clay Café Studios

    Looking for a camp for your kids? What about an art camp? We are currently developing our summer art curriculum and are currently registering campers.

    campers

    Our camp is a multi-media camp. We foster creativity by teaching kids to explore the possibilities in many different mediums.

    Pottery Painting

    Instead of just painting a piece of pottery, we teach them to use stamps, stencils, tape and other tools to take their creations to the next level.

    Clay

    Campers are taught to create ceramic objects using basic and more advancing methods of clay hand building.

    Glass Fusing

    Kids experience the fun of creating something unique using kid-friendly glass techniques.

    Mosaics, Canvas and Multi-Media

    We also teach these art forms, and encourage kids to hone their skills and have fun while doing it. We want kids to develop a lifetime love of art.
