The surrealist movement invented games to exercise the brain and ignite creative thinking. This is your chance to make fantastical sculptures in clay. Learn several techniques of hand building, explore various surface and glaze applications, and take inspiration from historical and contemporary ceramic sculpture. This class works with traditional clay.

One-week camp sessions run from June 12 to August 25. Morning classes run from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. and afternoon classes run from 1 to 4 p.m. Kids can be dropped off for morning classes beginning at 8:30 a.m. and for afternoon classes beginning at 12:30 p.m.

  • Need a full-day solution? Enroll in a morning and afternoon class, and you can take advantage of our extended day program. Extended day allows your child to bring a packed lunch and stay at VisArts from 12 to 1 p.m. as well as from 4 to 5 p.m. Extended day programs can be purchased when you add an afternoon class to your online shopping cart.
