Get ready to play in the mud with Verge’s upcoming Autumn Kids Camp! Each session will introduce campers to the basics of hand-building, proper use of tools, and adding vibrant colors with paint. We will fire all of the ceramic pieces made by your camper and you will be notified via email when they are ready for pick up.
