Here are my thoughts about summer 2026 below.

SPRING CAMPS DATES
Let me know what dates you want
so many schools, so many schedules!
​
And I have left summer 2025 details below that, for reference, as much will stay the same.
Summer 2026
DRAFT of plans as of October 2025
Here’s my thinking about summer 2026, as of October 2025:
Feedback and suggestions welcome.
Anyone need camp before June 8?
I will likely invite Amy Moss and Emma Skurnick back for summer 2026. June dates to be determined.
Pottery and Fiber Arts with Amy Moss – spinning, knitting, weaving
Pottery and Drawing and Painting with Emma Skurnick – Emma is my art teacher, who many of your kids have supported my attending the class on Wednesday mornings by zoom, even during camp. Now Emma will bring her magic to camp!
June 29 week – NO CAMP
July 6 – 17 – 2-week ADVANCED camp. Who is advanced? Anyone who is dedicated to pottery explorations. This 2-week camp allows a few campers to focus on developing their pottery skills to the next level. This is for campers who are familiar with our studio practices and willingly clean up thoroughly at the end of the day, without my help. If you are new to my studio, send your child for a day or 2 during the school year or to a June week, to learn the habits of our shared studio.
July 20 - 31 – 2-week ADVANCED camp. See above
Aug 3 – 7 – Pottery and Fiber Arts with Alicia Best – Alicia midwives wonders from scraps of fabric into applique wall hangings, crochet floor rugs, decorated head pieces, adorned clothing and so much more.
Aug 10 – 14 – Pottery and Fiber Arts with Alicia Best (see above)
Aug 17 - 21 – Pottery and Fiber Arts with Alicia Best (see above)
Does anyone need more weeks in late August?
Hours will be 9:00 – 2:00
Cost $60/day in the school year when camp registration is by the day.
Cost for Summer Camps $300/week.
I will take registrations on first come first served basis.
At the moment I start a wait list, I will give you a few days to pay for camp to hold the spot before I give it away to the next registrant.
​
No refund for cancellation, with two exception:
Refunds for cancellations, minus $25, if your spot is able to be filled by another camper.
Refunds for change of school schedule honored, even if I don’t find a replacement. Or you can choose to hold full credit for camp days during the ensuing school year.
​
I've left the info about summer 2025 below, as much will be the same in 2026

No Camp June 30 - July 4 - find me at the Festival for the Eno.
July Two 2-week-long CLAY INTENSIVE or ADVANCED* CAMPS offer a time to focus on clay work in a small group. I will continue to be present and instructing and helping to solve clay conundrums, while working on my own projects. Kids can still take breaks as needed. I'd like campers who want to take their clay work to the next level.
​

July 7 - 18: $600 Pottery Studio - advanced camp 1/26 - 4 spots remaining
-
July 21 - Aug 1; $600 Pottery Studio - advanced camp 1/26 - 4 spots remaining
* "Advanced" campers are dedicated to exploring clay and know the habits that keep the studio running smoothly.
They know how to clean up after themselves and will do it unprompted.
It's not how good they are at working with clay, but how devoted.
