2026 Summer Clay Camps in White Plains, NY
Creative Handbuilding Camps for Ages [8-12]. Week-long morning and afternoon sessions available.
Summer Clay Camp registration opens Feb 1st!
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.

There are few teachers like Ariella. She brings confidence and fun to every class, making the work feel both joyful and approachable. Whenever I made a mistake, she showed me simple, effective ways to fix it, so I didn’t have to start from … More scratch. Those small, smart tips helped me grow because I could build on what I’d already learned instead of beginning again each time.
Ariella is not only a beautiful artist but also a gifted teacher and a genuinely kind person. Her calm energy and passion for what she does are absolutely contagious. I can’t wait to take another class with her; it’s truly my happy place. -
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.

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!
