Build a tiny ceramic house, what goes inside it, and who lives there.

The last week of summer is about building a small world that belongs together — and figuring out who lives in it.

Kids create a connected ceramic set: a tiny house, a small functional object inside it, and a creature or person who lives there. Monday begins with the house — slab walls, rooflines, windows, doors, and the architectural thinking required to make flat clay stand up and stay standing. Wednesday, kids carve details like bricks, shutters, chimneys, then build the smaller pieces that complete the story: a bowl, cup, or dish that fits the scale, plus the little resident who belongs there.

Friday is for underglaze painting, when the whole set comes together — the house, the object, the creature, all speaking the same visual language. The set goes to the kiln and comes back two to three weeks later, ready for a shelf, a windowsill, or a small corner of any room.

MINIMUM ENROLLMENT
Camp runs with a minimum of 3 enrolled students. Families will be notified in advance if minimum enrollment is not met.

ABOUT THE WORK
Ceramic firing is unpredictable. Cracking, warping, glaze defects, and firing loss are normal risks of working with real clay and real heat — we'll always let you know if something happens to your piece. Pieces are held for 30 days after firing; unclaimed work after that becomes studio property.

CANCELLATION POLICY
Summer Camp has its own refund window because we reserve staffing, supplies, and space specifically for your child:
- 21+ days before camp: full refund minus $25 admin fee
- 8–20 days before camp: 50% refund OR 50% studio credit (your choice)
- 7 or fewer days before camp: no refund, no credit
