Monday is centering and pulling walls — the hardest part, and the most satisfying when it finally clicks. Kids will throw cylinders, collapse a few, laugh, and try again. Wednesday, they'll trim Monday's pieces into finished bowls or cups, then get back on the wheel with more confidence and feel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFriday, they'll trim their second round and finish everything with underglaze. The pieces go to the kiln and come back two to three weeks later. By the end of the week, their hands will know something they didn't know on Monday.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"summercamp.heartandhearthpottery.com\" title=\"Pottery Summer Camp in Topanga, CA\"\u003eCheck out more summer camps! →\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e———\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMINIMUM ENROLLMENT\u003cbr\u003eCamp runs with a minimum of 3 enrolled students.

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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCANCELLATION POLICY\u003cbr\u003eSummer Camp has its own refund window because we reserve staffing, supplies, and space specifically for your child:\u003cbr\u003e- 21+ days before camp: full refund minus $25 admin fee\u003cbr\u003e- 8–20 days before camp: 50% refund OR 50% studio credit (your choice)\u003cbr\u003e- 7 or fewer days before camp: no refund, no credit\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRead the full policy at heartandhearthpottery.com\/refund-policy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eQUESTIONS?\u003cbr\u003eEmail us before you book at studio@heartandhearthpottery.com.
