Kids Making Pottery

Here is a glimpse into one of Rockbrook’s two pottery studios, the one we call call “Upper Clay.” The other one is called— surprise! —”Lower Clay.”  With plenty of tables and benches, pottery making equipment (potter’s wheels, a slab roller, extruder, and hand tools, for example), loads of natural light, these are really fun places for kids to spend time making pottery projects.  There are always counselors and other pottery instructors buzzing about, and of course, great conversation to keep it all going.

If you look closely in the photo (click it to see a larger version), you can see some of the very cool pottery projects the camps kids are making… plaques, vases, cups, and bowls, to name a few.  Just think of all the gifts you’ll have for people when camp is done!
