Children's Classes
Photography for Kids (Ages 8-12)
with Brook Hewitt
Photography is a great exercise in problem solving. Any child can benefit and use the same skill set in other areas of life. The students mainly learn on DSLR Canon cameras but we will study and explore different types of photography and cameras as well such as polaroid, film and “point and shoot.” All gear is provided for each student, but students are welcome to bring cameras from home. All skill levels are welcome.
POT 16 - Pottery on the Wheel for Teens
with Rebecca Layson
Introduction to the potter’s wheel for teens, ages 13-18 only. Basic throwing skills will be taught, as well as design and decorative techniques for functional pottery forms.
The tuition includes a $55 fee, which covers the cost of one bag of stoneware, raku, or lizella clay (other clays at additional cost), glazes, and 2,000 cubic inches of glaze firing. Students provide their own tools. Additional clay and tools may be purchased from the studio (credit card only). All work fired at Callanwolde must be produced in the Pottery Program studios (no outside work allowed). Students may access the studios on weekends and most afternoons for practice at no additional cost.
