Summer Pottery Fun for Kids!
One of the best things about living in South Williamsburg was my proximity to Choplet Ceramics. Choplet is a lovely little place to take ceramics classes & Nadeige is the awesome French proprietor of the shop. After she herself had a baby, they decided to start offering kids classes! While mine aren’t old enough to go - maybe yours are?
Here is the info for summer classes. I have to say that I MISS ceramics class. It was easily the most fun I’d had in awhile. And when you learn how to use the wheel; its as if you conquered Mt. Everest!
KIDS AND TEENS POTTERY/CERAMIC ART SUMMER CLASSES
Choplet Ceramic Studio is organizing week long CLAY CAMP over the summer.
Our Pottery / Ceramic Day Camp programs give children and teens an opportunity to experience and be a part of an actual professional pottery studio. During the program, the students will take lessons and will gain hands-on experience on the potter’s wheel. They will also experience hand building / sculpting and glazing. No previous experience is necessary. All lessons & projects will be fun and creative and taught by an accomplished artist. Sessions begin June 18 and end on August 30, 2012.
