In this hands-on clay camp, campers will explore the magic of shaping and building with clay to create meaningful, functional artworks. Guided by teaching artist Amie Francis, students will use hand-building techniques to craft treasure jars inspired by garden walks, themed clay vessels, and wearable or hangable clay pieces filled with personal expression. This week celebrates imagination, craftsmanship, and the joy of turning clay into objects meant to be used, worn, and treasured.

About the Teaching Artist: Amie Francis
Hobbiest in pottery since 2017. Love to hand build with a focus on whimsy and nature. In off time, can be found visiting friends in biological research labs or playing with cards. 

What to Expect
A day at Camp Philbrook starts in our studios, but we quickly use the whole museum: art, gardens, etc. to explore what it means to be a creative thinker and maker. Our workshops are geared towards getting messy, working together and making space for every child’s ideas.

Here are a few things to know:

1. This is a drop-off camp.
2. All campers are required to be toilet trained and able to use the toilet without adult assistance.
3. We offer Before and After-Care.*
4. All-Day campers need to bring a peanut-free lunch from home.
5. We have pretzels or Goldfish crackers as morning snack and afternoon snack built into each camp session. Campers are welcome to bring their own peanut-free snack from home if they would like.
6. We use the whole museum, which means we spend ample time outside when the weather permits. Please pack a water bottle daily and arrive wearing sunscreen and bug spray.
7. Your days at Philbrook will be filled with creative energy and fun! Please make sure to dress for mess and outdoor exploration.
