Camp for children in ceramics and wood • Geneva Nations
Pottery and woodworking are two creative experiences for teens to express themselves and develop new skills. Pottery involves various techniques such as wheel throwing and various hand building techniques, where teens can improve their hand-eye coordination, patience and imagination. On the other hand, Woodworking provides opportunities for teens to design and create practical and beautiful pieces of wood, thereby developing problem-solving and technical skills. Both provide hands-on, enriching experiences for teens to explore their artistic talents and build their self-confidence. This collaborative camp is co-created by Knock On Wood and KLAYIT. Age: 8+
