About the event
Over the course of two days, participants will learn basic pottery techniques and create sea creatures such as octopuses, starfish, and seahorses. Our experienced instructor will guide kids through the sculpting process, helping them bring their underwater creations to life.
Each day will consist of two hours of hands-on sculpting and molding, allowing kids to fully immerse themselves in the world of pottery. By the end of the camp, each child will have unique sea creatures to take home and proudly display.
Students will need to pick up their finished pieces following a final glaze firing that will happen AFTER the final class. Students will be notified when their pieces are ready for pick up.
Class minimum: 4
Class maximum: 7
A Note about the Class Fee
The cost to run a clay class is more than most ACWL-Nuveen classes due to the time and literal energy it takes to fire the kilns. However, if the $25 class fee is prohibitive, please reach out to nuveen@artswhitelake.org and we will do whatever we can to make this class accessible to you!
About the Instructor:
Like many great love stories, Kim’s love for ceramics began in high school. She loved the limitless dynamics of the art form, and it’s been her passion ever since. Recently, she’s been apprenticing with Peter "The Potter" Johnson, the local master potter working at Terrestrial Forming in Whitehall. She’s now excited to begin her own journey creating and teaching pottery to other art lovers.
ACWL-Nuveen Summer Art Camps are supported by the Lothmann Family Fund of the Community Foundation for Muskegon County.
