Wheel Throwing Intensive: A 2-Week Ceramics Course for Teens · Ages 10–16 · SUMMER CAMP EDITIONS

$350.00

Wheel Throwing Intensive is a focused 2-week ceramics course designed for teens ages 10 to 16 who want to learn a real skill — not just make a project. At ATELIER Ceramic Studio in Miami's MiMo district, your teen will learn to center clay, open a form, pull the walls, trim their piece, and apply glaze. From raw clay to a finished, fired bowl or vessel they take home.

What's included in every block:
— 4 throwing sessions (Tuesday + Thursday, 2–4pm) over 2 weeks
— 1 glazing + painting session (the following Thursday)
— All clay, tools, glazes, and studio materials
— Kiln firing — both bisque and glaze fire
— Up to 6 fired and glazed pieces to take home
— Finished pieces ready for pickup approximately 2 weeks after the paint session

How the course works:

Week 1 — Your teen gets on the wheel. We cover centering and opening the clay, the two hardest skills to learn — and the most satisfying to crack. Most students throw their first recognizable form by Thursday.

Week 2 — We refine the form, practice trimming leather-hard pieces, and each student completes their final pieces. By the end of Week 2, every student leaves with a collection of work they're proud of.

Week 3 (Paint Day) — Students return on Thursday to glaze and paint their bisque-fired pieces. This is the payoff session — seeing what they made transformed by color and glaze is genuinely exciting.

After the glaze fire — Finished pieces are ready for pickup approximately 2 weeks after the paint session. We'll email you as soon as they're ready.

A note on this course: The wheel is humbling. It takes patience. Your hands will get covered in clay and not everything will go the way you planned — and that's exactly the point. Teens who take this course leave with more than a ceramic piece. They leave knowing they figured something hard out.
