Gaining confidence in the basics allows for self exploration in specific areas: rims, feet, lids, handles, spouts, altering, throwing larger and generally challenging yourself. Historic and contemporary pottery will be our inspiration. Join us for a fun class! Students purchase clay at the start of class. All levels.

MSS at Marbleworks, 63 Maple Street, #8A, Middlebury, VT
Step behind the curtain and explore art for the stage in this camp hosted by Middlebury Studio School and Town Hall Theater. Campers will spend time at THT to experience what goes on behind the scenes of a dramatic performance, from capturing character in movement to evoking mood with scene design. They will then spend the week at MSS diving into the creative process to create costumes and set pieces to share on stage at THT at the end of the week. This camp is for artists who are excited to move, create, and work collaboratively. Let your imagination take center stage!  Ages 7-11.
