There are many ways that kids can learn to work with clay and get creative with us at Portland Pottery. Our goal is to get as many kids’ hands messy in clay as possible!

Our summer program offers weeklong clay camps for kids ages 6-14 and runs from 9am-3pm, Monday - Friday. In 2024, the Summer Program will run weekly from June 17 through August 30 and will cost $325 for the week.

Each week will include wheel throwing, hand building and sculpting in clay, plus other creative projects such as tie dye, glass fusing, and intro metalsmithing for older kids. Each day, we have three blocks of creative activity plus an hour lunch break with outdoor activities and games.

Campers will expand their imaginations and explore the exciting world of clay and more. Students learn in a supportive and small group setting with plenty of individual instruction and inspiration from our counselors.

Each child receives a camp t-shirt. Class fees include all materials and firing. Please note: pieces will be ready for pick up approximately 4 weeks after camp finishes.

Cancellation Policy: No refund will be given for cancellations made within 7 days of the start of the week of camp.
