Let your kid's imagination take shape with clay this summer! Our pottery focused summer camp is an immersive experience where your kids will learn the basics of handbuilding through pinching and coiling, finishing their work with underglaze and acrylic paint, and even trying the potter's wheel!​

Vallejo Clay is partnering with The Exchange to create an afternoon camp option for parents. Parents looking for an all-day camp can enroll their kids in pottery classes in the morning, followed by lunch and creative afternoons with The Exchange from noon to 4 PM.
