Instructor: Tyler Morrison

ages 10-14: We’re not just throwing clay around the room! This is an introduction to using the potter’s wheel. Campers will develop the skills of centering, throwing, and shaping clay. This is a great opportunity for young artists to incorporate this traditional tool into their work. This camp meets in-person and is limited to 5 campers.

Tyler Morrison is a potter whose work is focused on elements of everyday life. Largely self-taught, his work emphasizes function, sustainability, and self-sufficiency. As an artist he draws inspiration from industry, and the tradition of potters as both designers and laborers. As an educator he emphasizes the role that the pottery studio has historically played in society, how the medium of clay has shaped the way we view and interact with the world, and how students can use that knowledge to grow as artists and as people.
