Ceramics Summer Camp Ages 8-16
This Summer, Your Child Creates Something Real.
ArtAtelier's Summer Ceramics Camp in New Paltz, NY is unlike anything else in the Hudson Valley. This is a professional studio experience — not a recreational activity, not a craft table. Real wheels. Real kilns. Real finished work your child brings home.
Designed for ages 8–16, our intimate small-group program guides campers through pottery wheel mastery, handbuilding, glazing, and artistic growth — session by session, skill by skill.
We don't do crowded. We don't do rushed. We do focused. We do meaningful. We do ceramics.
Spots are intentionally limited — and they go fast.
Session Dates
July 6 – July 17 FULL
July 20 – July 31
Each camper works in a professional ceramic studio environment with access to:
• Pottery wheel instruction in small groups
• Advanced handbuilding techniques
• Glaze experimentation and surface design
• Kiln-fired finished pieces
• Individual artistic guidance
Campers do not rotate through random activities. They build skills progressively and leave with refined, finished ceramic work.
Designed for Focused Creative Growth
This camp is ideal for families in New Paltz, Gardiner, Highland, Kingston, and the greater Hudson Valley who are seeking:
• A structured artistic environment
• Small student-to-teacher ratios
• Professional-level ceramics instruction
• A calm, focused studio atmosphere
We prioritize depth over volume.
