Friday at Summer Camp… and this might not be the best way to start?! HA!!!
While refilling all of our colored slip containers… one of the plastic containers literally “exploded” & burst out the side while trying to put the lid back on. Luckily, I had some great “minions” to help us clean this up before they started painting their pots from the week! Just another day at camp…

It’s August… and it’s another week of Summer Camp!!! This week I’m doing an all-day camp with 10-13 year olds for wheelthrowing & handbuilding. Buckets & tools are ready… bring on the kids!!!

A fine end to another week of Summer Camp… looks like they were happy!

Some sweet projects this week with my Summer Campers!
Lots of pots & lots of laughs!
Everyone had a great time & they made some amazing work.
So much cuter in color… well done kiddos!!!

I’m very protective of my Summer Campers… especially when they get “blamed” for leaving messes in classrooms. I will vouch for my campers who clean better than most adult students. Especially when we come into our room in the morning to find this… a full set-up with porcelain, a Giffin Grip, tools & more still on a wheel?! Can’t “blame” the kids for this one… but they did clean it up for you whoever you are?!

Lots of pots to start our day at Summer Camp!!! After just three days, we’re now up to trimming, carving, stamping, handles, attachments & finishings. Then tomorrow they’ll move onto painting with colored slips to make them even more fun!!!

And this is just the morning group!!!
There’s another whole pile of pots with my afternoon campers!!!

Another fun day at summer camp… with two of my favorite things!
A friendly smile on the reclaim pile… and another camper cleaning the floor!!!

Another week of Summer Camp done! Ending with a lot of flowerpots with flowers…
and perhaps a stray side-eyed penguin in the mix!!!

Another great day at Summer Camp… today was handbuilding with my 8-10 year old campers. The project was flowerpots with dimensional flowers on the sides… seemed obvious to me! We all had a great time making flowers & leaves to grace our textured flowerpots! Well done kiddos!!!! And tomorrow they add colors…

I just love when my early-arriving campers ask “What can I do?”…
and then “volunteer” to scrape & wash all of our camp wareboards!!!
Cleanest in the building!!!
