Clay Play Camps

Jessa was recently featured on The Potters Cast, where she discussed her inspirations, her process, and Clay Play Classes and Camps!

Let’s Get Creative!

Decker-Smith Pottery is so excited to offer Clay Play Days! Kids will get to experience all things clay, and make tons of cool creations in the process.

At Clay Play Days participants will sculpt, hand-build, coil-build, slab-build, use texture, carving, and appliqué, decorate, glaze, and see how the kiln works.

But the most exciting part is always seeing pottery made on a potter’s wheel. I’ve lost count of the ooohs, ahhhhs, and wows I hear when I demonstrate throwing on the wheel.

Book now to hold your spot!
