I’ve decided to cancel summer clay camp for 2026 and focus on adult classes and workshops. I hope to run a camp next summer in 2027, so stay tuned for updates and changes. In the meantime, good luck with your summer planning and enjoy the spring sunshine and warm rays!!

Pottery & Clay Camps at Slip Studio NY! Fun, creative handbuilding workshops for kids in White Plains. Small groups, themed weeks, and hands-on ceramic art.

Our clay camp runs for 6 weeks during July and August. We offer two sessions: lower school mornings from 9:30 am-12:30 pm for kids in 3rd-5th grade and middle school afternoons (grades 6-8) from 1:30-4:30 pm.

Unlike larger camps, our boutique studio focuses on the tactile art of handbuilding—sculpting, coiling, and slab-work. With a maximum of 10 campers per session, your child gets individualized attention from a master maker All materials, supplies, and firing fees are included in the price.

Each week will be a curated and unique experience in clay, art, food, and nature. We’ll be exploring our themes through design and color, textures and shapes, as well as a deep dive into our senses! Students will be encouraged to work as a group, slowing down and focusing on mindfulness and intention to detail. Our intent is quality, NOT quantity; kids will end up 2-3 thoughtfully made pieces at the end of each session. Finished pieces will be fired and glazed for pick up 2-4 weeks later.

Please NOTE: Slip Studio is an adult workspace, with bar-height stools and high worktables.  Kids should have the ability to sit and work on the day’s project. Camp sessions run for 3 hours, with a short snack break.

    I also feel like this could be a bachelorette or book club party waiting to happen.

    This is an amazing new studio and I am so happy that it is close to my home. I took my kids - three different ages - to family clay day on a day off of school. The studio is beautiful, clean and comfy. Really nice. Ariella was helpful in … More the planning of the projects, was supportive giving tips and ideas. The kids all commented on how nice she is! There was lovely conversation with everyone. It was just a great experience. I could have spent another hour or two there. My hope is for my daughter to join one of her classes, and for me to join an adult class. We all felt right at home there. Ariella is a very talented artist and teacher.

    I had a great time at a mom’s night out, learning how to design and paint a plate, chatting with other moms and eating delicious snacks. The studio is new and inviting. Ariella led a great session that was relaxed and insightful with design … More ideas and techniques. I will be back

    My experience at Slip Shop exceeded my expectations. Took a Tile Mug workshop and cannot believe how beautifully it turned out. The shop is roomy and inviting; it was so organized, I felt immediately comfortable to set up a work area. Firstly, … More I engaged in some light chatter with friendly strangers sharing lovely charcuterie and beverages. Ariella made her own bread; yes please! Back to the clay: there are works to inspire, some finished and works in progress. I saw uniquely designed platters that make me want to sign up for a series of classes so I can make my own. Great experience!
