Summer Art Camp: Clay Turtles and Frogs

Through guided instruction students will learn pinch pot techniques to create unique turtle and frog shaped vessels. Other ceramic hand building techniques will be taught as well so the students can embellish their pieces with coils and textures from nature. Students will use colored ceramic stains and glazes to finish the pieces. The pieces will be left to dry then fired in a kiln. Ms. Rogers will let students when they will be ready for pick-up at Terrestrial Forming Pottery Studio.

About the Instructor:

Mrs. Rogers is an artist and retired elementary school art teacher from Whitehall. She has taught at the ACWL-Nuveen Center for years, is a Gallery Member Artist and an active member of the Board of Directors.

COVID-19 Considerations:

Classes will be held outdoors - weather permitting - under a tent with 6 feet between tables. Students will be seated on either ends of the tables - 6 feet apart. If class has to be held inside, we will make sure students can be six feet apart. Class capacity will be limited to 10 students. Each student will have their own supplies that will be sanitized before class. Students should wear masks and abide by social distancing mandates. 

Summer Art Camps are supported by an anonymous donor and grants from the Michigan Council for Arts & Cultural Affairs and the National Endowment for the Arts.
