Did you know how beneficial summer art camp is for our children? The program I offer is short and sweet, project based, with lots of opportunity to relax and explore your creativity. It’s a no judgment zone! Here are some of the wonderful benefits of working in clay!
1. Clay acts as a relaxant, similar to a stress ball.
2. Touching clay induces stimulating neural in-put from your sensory senses.
3. Levels of the stress hormone, cortisol, have been known to lower when playing with, modeling and squeezing clay.
4. Using your hands releases a calming effect as cognitive processing occurs while modeling and forming clay.
5. Playing with clay can transform an individual into a relaxed meditated state.
6. Clay as a form of therapy taps into the unconscious mind and its considered art expression.
7. The resistance of working with clay integrates mental, emotional and kinaesthetic brain functions.
8. Hands on art is now a form of self care, similar to exercising.
9. At a young age, playing, touching, forming and modelling clay is considered active learning.
10. Playing with clay can relieve stress for kids.

Summer Art Workshop 2023
Well, another summer art camp season has come to a close. Each year it’s a blessing to work with your children, seeing them grow in talent, and self expression. Now on to preparing for next year, new projects, and another summer art adventure! Hope to see you all for drop in pottery painting fun throughout the year! Thank you for trusting me to nurture your children's creativity in some small way!
FYI All pottery from summer art pottery will be fired and ready for pick up within 2 weeks of the last day of your session. We will provide you with a slip stating the estimated pick up date. Once all pottery is fired and artwork framed we will send an email on the day it is actually ready! Sometimes we get lucky and we are ahead of schedule! This is a good thing : ) Please pick up within 1 week of the pick up date in the email notification. We will send out a reminder 5 days after the first email. We have hundreds of bags of pottery processing for the 8 weeks of camp and our pottery to go orders with limited storage space.
