Service Description
Introducing our Summer pottery camp for teens ages 13-17! This camp is structured similarly to our kids camps, but teens are able to dive a little deeper into various sculpting techniques. Join us for three days of hands-on pottery adventures, where artists will explore what it's like to work with clay. During each three-hour session, students will explore basic hand-building techniques in our bright, supportive studio environment. Students will plan out their projects via sketches, then they'll learn to create with pinch pots, coils, slabs, and various attachment methods. Our projects will vary, but may include: sculpted animals, functional pieces, or decorative pieces. We will be using underglaze for their pieces during camp sessions, so there will be no need to come back to glaze pieces this year! Each student will bring home three finished, fired pieces that showcase their growth. While our experienced instructors guide each step of the process, we encourage students to experiment and express their unique vision. There's no pressure to make things "perfect" – we celebrate each student's individual artistic journey and give them the freedom to explore their imagination. Class sizes are small (8 kids per session), so instructors are able to provide a good amount of one-on-one instruction throughout the morning. On the last day of class, students will have some set time to give the pottery wheel a try! Please note that anything created on the wheel will be recycled, as these pieces will not be fired to take home. Want to explore the wheel a little more? While this camp mainly focuses on hand-building techniques, families & teens interested in wheel throwing can join our Family Wheel class, offered Sunday afternoons. Important Details: Dates: Tuesday August 4th, Wednesday August 5th, Thursday August 6th Time: 9:00am - 12:00pm (Please arrive 5 minutes early, and make sure your student has eaten breakfast before arriving!)

Cancellation Policy
For a full refund or free rescheduling, you must notify us 7 days before your scheduled class/activity. Within 7 days of your class there is no refund but you can choose to reschedule within the first five days of that week prior to your class and must pay 20% of the class price to reschedule. There will be NO reschedule/cancellation for any reason within 48 hours of the class, and no refund will be offered. Any refund offered will be subject to a 4% processing fee. We have this policy in place to protect our employees and artists who are booked specifically for this event, and also other customers who might have had a chance to book if the seat was available. Please understand we are a small service based business and lots of planning and supplies go into making these classes possible. Please be aware this is one of the most generous cancellation and rescheduling policies in our industry, and please don't give our staff a hard time for adhering to it- they are just doing their job. Thank you for understanding! DISCLAIMER: No guarantee is offered, explicit or implied, regarding the quality or serviceability of fired work. Every precaution will be taken to ensure the best possible outcome for every firing. Use of the studio indicates you agree that you will not hold the studio, its volunteers, or any other person associated with the studio responsible for work that is damaged or defective in any way while in the studio at any stage of the process. Please note that all class pieces need to be picked up within 3 months of the class date. It takes an average of 3-4 weeks for pieces to move through the finishing & kiln firing process. After 3 months, pieces will be donated to make room on the studio shelves. While working with clay is relatively safe, there are hazards and risks. These risks include the possibility of injuries or illness related to the use of the studio, materials, or equipment. Use of the studio indicates you agree that you have been informed of the risks and have signed the Kilnfolk waiver.
