SUMMER CAMPS
GENERAL INFORMATION
Our 2022 Half Day Summer Camps are designed to follow one after the other with new content each week so that parents can confidently sign their child up for more than one week of camp. Our art camps from 7/11/22-7/22/22 will take place at the Oxford Arts Alliance located at 38 S Third Street, Oxford PA, 19363 on the third floor in the Art Academy. Our clay camps from 7/25/22-8/5/22 will take place at the Octoraro Art Association located at 5965 Forge Road, Oxford, PA 19363 in the historic pump house. Each week will have two sessions: morning and afternoon. The morning (AM) session will be from 9 am to 12 pm and the afternoon (PM) session will be from 1 pm to 4 pm. The art camps at the Oxford Arts Alliance will break the sessions into two different age groups: AM will be ages 7-10 and PM will be ages 11-13. Each session of clay camp at the Octoraro Art Association will be from ages 7 and up. Advanced clay camp* takes place during the AM session and beginner clay camp takes place during the PM session.

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.
