Teens explore both pottery and mixed media art in this once-a-year creative camp. Perfect for young artists who want to take their skills to the next level.
Pottery camps at The Pottery Outpost are where young artists dive into the world of clay—learning to throw on the wheel, hand build with coils, slabs, and pinch pots, and glaze their own creations. From silly faces to functional mugs, if they can imagine it, they can make it. It’s hands-on, screen-free fun that teaches real pottery skills and sparks lifelong creativity.
Pottery camps give kids the chance to create with their hands, express themselves, and build focus—all while having an absolute blast. From throwing their first bowl to sculpting playful creatures, our young potters learn real skills and walk away with something they’re proud of (and probably won’t stop talking about).
Our week-long camps are packed with wheel throwing, hand building, glazing, and imagination. Spots fill fast—reserve your child’s place today and let them experience the magic of clay this summer.
We get it — sending your child to a new camp can come with a few questions (and maybe some clay on the clothes). But don’t worry, our Kids Pottery Camps are designed to be fun, beginner-friendly, and stress-free for both kids and parents. Whether your child is a total newbie or already loves getting messy with clay, they’ll feel right at home in our studio.
