Day Program

Build, Glaze, Fire! is a throw-back art camp at Telluride Academy designed for young artists eager to explore the wonderful world of pottery!

Campers will immerse themselves in the creative process, learning essential techniques for hand-building and shaping clay into unique pieces of art. Throughout the week, participants will experiment with various glazing methods to add vibrant colors and textures to their creations.

The camp culminates in a firing process, where campers will witness their masterpieces come to life.

Telluride Academy's Overnight Policy

Our talented instructors work hard to combat student homesickness on overnight programs. For many students, this experience might be their first time camping or away from home! In the days leading up to the overnight(s), the instructors have positive conversations with the groups to get them excited and prepared for their overnight adventures. This dynamic gets interrupted when a student is picked up early from their overnight. For this reason, we can not accommodate early pick-ups, unless in the case of an emergency. If your child does not want to attend the overnight, or if you have prior commitments that require early pick-up accommodations, we ask that you consider choosing a day program instead. Please call our office with any questions or concerns.
