SUMMER CAMP
Monday July 27th | 4-9pm
Get ready to build, print, layer, and play.
Join nationally recognized ceramic artist Tim Kowalczyk (insta: @timsceramics) for a hands-on workshop exploring paper clay construction and bold surface design. In this class, participants will build a small tray using paper clay techniques -learning how this versatile material allows for crisp edges, lightweight forms, and playful construction methods.
Once your form is built, Tim will guide you through the magic of silkscreening and transferring two-color underglaze imagery onto your piece. You’ll learn how to layer color, align imagery, and achieve graphic, eye-catching results that give your tray personality and punch. Whether you lean toward quirky, clever, nostalgic, or unexpected, this workshop encourages expressive surfaces and thoughtful storytelling.
Tim is known for transforming everyday objects into ceramic works with humor, sharp design, and a bit of surprise - and he brings that same spirit into his teaching. Expect technical insight, practical tips, and plenty of encouragement to experiment.
Class size is limited to 24 participants.
BYOB Policy
We can’t provide beer or wine, but you’re welcome to bring your own if you’re 21+ and sip responsibly.
Camp Patches
Each camper will receive a limited-edition patch designed by the featured workshop artist. Each one reflects the spirit of that class, and the techniques explored. Sew them onto your apron, tote, or camp hoodie, and start a collection! I mean… that’s pretty sweet, right?!
Camp Loyalty Perks
• After paying full price for one workshop, you will receive 10% off each additional workshop.

What’s a week at summer camp without a closing ceremony and ribbon awards? If you attend just one workshop, you are invited to display your favorite pieces from your week at camp to share with everyone, and for the chance to earn a ribbon. Tried something new? Mastered a tricky technique? Created a masterpiece? Survived kiln drama? There’s likely gonna be a ribbon for that. We’ll cheer. We’ll clap. We may ooooh and ahhh….
Patches will be proudly displayed. Stories will be told. This is our moment to celebrate the beautiful community that forms when we gather to create with one another… and play in the mud.
A Quick Camp Policy Note
All workshop sales are final — no refunds or credits. We operate Summer Camp with built-in discounts to make it accessible, and we plan carefully to create something truly special. Our guest artists travel to be here and are paid for sharing their knowledge with our community. Thank you for understanding and supporting that commitment.
