Childrens Art Summer Camps

Mornings 9.30-12.00am Afternoons 1.00-3.30pm. Full days - bring packed lunch

In July and August each year, we run a series of childrens summer art camps at Kinsale Pottery and Art School. Each camp runs for five consecutive days and comprises two sessions per day:- 9.30-12.00 noon and 1.00-3.30pm. You can choose to send your children to mornings or afternoons, or for full days. Those staying the full day should bring a packed lunch.

The camps are designed with fun and art education in mind and include the widest range of activities from pottery to tie dye, theatre building to paper marbling. Classes of 10-12 children are taught by young professional artists and qualified teachers, many children come back every year to renew their enjoyment of the week.

Childrens Pottery Summer Camp

For the first time, in 2010, we're offering a five half-day summer camp just in pottery, using the throwing wheel and teaching all the hand-building techniques: slab-building, coiling and pinching, as well as slip decoration with paper-resist, smoke-firing and other decorative techniques. This course is suitable for children aged 9-13 (older teenagers may join the adults full-day ceramics summer school)

It is also designed to interface with the childrens five half-day film animation summer camp, so that the group may choose to do both camps in the same week (ie 10-1 pottery and 2-5 animation or vice versa) with a dicount price for booking both together.

Kinsale Pottery can recommend a range of local accommodation providers from simple B&B's to five star guest houses and hotels. ASk for a list when you book.
