Summer Camp: Clay with Food (Ages 6 – 9)



Learn & Make / Kids Camps / Summer Camp: Clay with Food (Ages 6 – 9)

July 31 – August 4, 2023
9:00 am – 4:00 pm

Create something that looks good enough to eat! This week, campers will explore the connections between food and pottery in our galleries, discovering objects like an ancient vessel for drinking chocolate and a 250-year-old ceramic pug dog for decorating a dessert table. Then we’ll use clay and other materials to recreate and reimagine our favourite sweet and savoury treats.

Please note: Lunch and snacks are not provided. Campers are not permitted to go off-site to purchase food and drinks. There is no extended care available after 4:15 pm.

About Summer Camp

In our popular summer camps, kids can embrace their creativity through clay and other art materials in our fully equipped pottery studios. They’ll learn new skills, from sculpting to glazing, in a fun and inclusive environment. Each camp is taught by our experienced artist educators, who guide campers through the galleries to get inspired by the incredible objects on display.

Please read our Ticketing Policy carefully before you register.
