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
Outdoor games - Outdoor field trip to find clay.
Campers do not rotate through random activities. They build skills progressively and leave with refined, finished ceramic work.

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 6–14, 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.
