Immerse your child in the captivating world of clay with our Youth Ceramics Camp in Charlotte, NC! This week-long camp is the perfect introduction to pottery, offering three hours of daily exploration. Students will embark on an artistic journey, building mugs and pottery by hand, creating enchanting gnome and wizard sculptures, and even experiencing the potter's wheel. Our projects are designed to foster creativity, allowing students to personalize each creation and unleash their unique artistic expression.

At the end of the week, students will have the opportunity to glaze their masterpieces. We carefully fire their artwork, making it available for convenient pick-up the following week. As a bonus, each child will receive a trendy summer T-shirt, perfect for showcasing their creativity all summer long!

Throughout the camp, we prioritize your child's well-being. With a 20-minute snack break, we ensure they stay energized. Please pack a nut-allergy-friendly snack for your child's enjoyment. Clean-up and project storage begin around 4:10 pm, allowing you to conveniently pick up your child at 4:30 pm. To ensure the safe transport of their amazing creations, please bring a shoe box for your child's artwork.

Let your child's imagination soar at our Youth Ceramics Camp—an enriching summer experience they'll cherish. Don't miss this opportunity! Enroll your child today and witness their artistic talents blossom in the world of clay.

At the Little Studio, we are all about small-scale learning.  We keep our camps smaller with ten students total.  Our founder James Carlevatti received a Bachelors of Fine Art from the Columbus College of Art & Design, in Columbus, Ohio.  After moving to Charlotte, he has had experience teaching summer camps at The Cornelius Arts Center with ages ranging from five to 16 as well as teaching teen ceramics classes.  Additionally, James was a long-term substitute at Charlotte Country Day Middle School, working with 5th and 6th grade.  His experience with large and small groups and a variety of ages helps to create a structured yet nurturing environment for students to learn and experiment with their creativity.
