There are lots of exciting art projects that we’ll delve into!

Beginner Clay Camp is for the young student with little or no experience in the craft. The daily projects will explore hand building techniques such as slab, pinch, coil and extrusion for the forms, and incorporate texture and underglaze colors for a variety of decorative effects. The potter’s wheel will be introduced at the end of the week. This camp is limited to 8 students. Each camp will run for one week from 1 pm to 4 pm each day. Your child cannot sign up for both Beginner I and Beginner II clay camp. They must take one of either camp. Ceramics is a messy art form. Students who do not like getting dirty will not enjoy this class so please keep that in mind when you discuss this summer camp program as a possibility for your child! The Oxford Arts Alliance reserves the right to dismiss or transfer a student for poor progress and/or attendance or failure to comply with Oxford Arts Alliance policies.

Advanced Clay Camp is a two week program for the serious ceramic student with three or more years of experience with the OXAA Clay Camp (or an equivalent amount of time in an academic setting, interviews/portfolio required).
The potter’s wheel will be the primary technique utilized, and combinations of wheel thrown and hand built elements will be encouraged as a form of personal expression. Students will make glazes and apply them to their work. Weather permitting, alternative methods of firing and finishing will be explored. This camp is limited to 8 students. The camp will run for 2 weeks from 9 am to 12 pm each day. Ceramics is a messy art form.
