d'Art Summer Pottery Camp

Looking for d’Art Summer Art Camp for all other mediums? Click here!

Please note the age ranges for different camp weeks below.**

At d’Art Center our mission is to provide unique opportunities for our community to experience the visual arts. Every summer we offer a pottery camp designed for children ages 8-11 (12-14 in select weeks) to watch, learn, create, and enjoy art in an interactive environment.

This year we are offering 8 themed weeks, from June 8th to August 7th, with a break during the June 29th to July 3rd week. Throughout these weeks, campers will learn about different art mediums and techniques from weekly 30-minute demonstrations led by d’Art Artists, create a variety of themed projects that nurture their imagination and encourage creative thinking, and enjoy diverse activities led by special guests, as well as trips to The Chrysler Museum of Art & Perry Glass Studio. Previous guests have included Virginia Air & Space Science Center, Norfolk Master Gardeners, Zeider’s American Dream Theater, Push Comedy, Mathnasium, Norfolk SPCA, and more!

Pottery camp combines traditional mud clay, air dry clay and polymer clay due to time constraints for kiln firing. Pieces will either be glazed and fired or air dried and painted with acrylics and sealed.

All Ages

—

Southern Culture On The Skids has been consistently recording and touring around the world since 1983. The band (Rick Miller – guitar and vocals, Mary Huff – bass and vocals, Dave Hartman – drums) has been playing together for over 30 years. Their musical journey has taken them from all-night North Carolina house parties to late night TV talk shows (Conan O’Brien, The Tonight Show), from performing at the base of Mt. Fuji in Japan to rockin’ out for the inmates at North Carolina correctional facilities. They’ve shared a stage with many musical luminaries including Link Wray, Loretta Lynn, Hasil Adkins and Patti Smith. Their music has been featured in movies and TV, parodied by Weird Al, and used to sell everything from diamonds to pork sausage. In 2014 the band was honored by the Southern Folklife Collection at the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill with an exhibition featuring their music and cultural contributions. Their legendary live shows are a testament to the therapeutic powers of foot-stomping, butt-shaking rock and roll and what Rolling Stone dubbed “a hell raising rock and roll party.”
