About
Queen City Clay Kids Art Camps offer Pottery Wheel and themed Art Camps that run all summer long. Campers work on a clay project and use other fun art mediums, and some camps include time on the potter’s wheel. On Friday, there is a Camp Art Show 20 minutes before camp ends so campers can share what they made.
• Schedule: Pottery Wheel and themed Art Camps run all summer long.
All-day campers may bring a lunch and stay supervised between camps at no extra charge. Summer Camp is mostly full, but there are available camp spots, and families can email Jess at [email protected] to be on a waitlist. Age brackets are flipped to allow campers to attend both camps and stay all day.
Queen City Clay started as Annies Mud Pie Shop in the early 90’s, and in 2020 the organization began the purchase of a 50,000 sq. ft. building in Norwood. The organization currently supports 8 full-time staff members and over 40 part-time staff and teaches nearly 4,500 students a year. Its mission is to foster the human impulse to create by nurturing the growth of a unique, diverse, encouraging community and making the creative process accessible to all, based on a belief that the shared experience of creating ideas and objects can improve a person’s overall well being. Queen City Clay states that it is constantly working to be a trauma informed studio. The president of Queen City Clay is Ben Clark.
Queen City Clay works with local schools to outfit their clay programs with equipment and materials, including free training for all teachers and a partnership with Ashland University, NKU, UC, and Forest Hills School District to provide graduate credit for teachers and internship opportunities for students. Schools bring students from as far as Cleveland for 4-hour field trips, and businesses and adult groups use their teambuilding programs and “Day out of the office” offerings. DAAP, Yelp, The Potters Council, and local politicians use the facility as a creative event center to hold large events of 300 people or more. Rookwood and several other local studios work with Queen City Clay to make the area an appealing place to hold major clay and sculpture conferences, and the organization states that it is working every day to make a positive social and economic impact on the area and to revitalize a movement of servant leadership and collaboration with residents and businesses.
