At d’Art Center our mission is to provide unique opportunities for our community to experience the visual arts. Every summer we offer a pottery camp designed for children ages 8-11 (12-14 in select weeks) to watch, learn, create, and enjoy art in an interactive environment. Pottery camp combines traditional mud clay, air dry clay and polymer clay due to time constraints for kiln firing. Pieces will either be glazed and fired or air dried and painted with acrylics, then sealed.
