 Carla’s Art Camp

In it’s 19th year, this ceramics art camp offers hand building in clay, with many techniques including slab, coil, sculpting, pinch & learning how to throw a pot on the pottery wheel. A mosaic project, color mixing & painting lesson, and glazing the ceramics are also part of each 1-week sessions.

New projects added for 2011: water color painting, drawing with pencil, charcoal, oil pastels, acrylic painting, and Zentangle which is a new form of sophisticated doodling-very fun and relaxing!

Students have fun creating from their own imagination, as well as making the projects offered. Step by step lessons give developmental strategies, problem solving & intuitive leaps for first time students; and those who attend yearly continue to develop their confidence and skills with more challenging projects.

A focus on creative growth and development, while encouraging exploration, imagination & individual expression are among the successes achieved in this camp. Each child receives individual attention & guidance, and  freedom to create their own projects along with those offered.

All ages attend together. Younger and older students always find others similar in age to group with. Art is a personal expression and so it has always been a successful experience for all ages to be creating art together. Sometimes the younger kids look up to the older students as a mentor. Everyone comes in starting out at their own developmental level and learn many skills.

Private Classes available  ( Adults & teens classes available) You can set up a special group to come to the clay studio, also I give a Girl Scout/Brownie Group clay session, or just a gathering of your friends to have a clay-play day or several. I will also come to the school classroom and present a project for the class to make a take home item and I have taught a project for classroom fundraisers for the students to make a small creation to contribute for a collective fundraiser design piece such as a large platter.

I am a professional artist and have been painting custom tile murals and creative home decor for over 26 years. My teaching experience began in 1986 teaching art in after school enrichment programs, and for private schools and institutions. My studio is located in Village Park, Encinitas in my shaded backyard and covered patio. It is a naturally inspiring environment and stimulates creativity and fun. there are two pottery wheels in the backyard, an electric one and an older kick wheel, and two electric kilns in the garage.
