This was my second clay camp.  I LOVE these camps.  You guys do a phenomenal job of putting these on!

Thank you for all of your hard work!

Milena Sallustio

Absolutely loved Clay Camp this year. A huge huge thank you to all involved. 

I learned so much from everyone of the artists. They sparked my creativity to try new techniques and revisit old techniques I have not done in a long while.

Thank you again and YES I will be back again.... I look forward with anticipation to the sleepless nights. hahahaha


Deborah Bowman 

I thoroughly enjoyed watching clay camp 
I was really inspired by the instructors work and love for the pottery they did 
I cant wait for the repeats to enhance my ability with the clay and to reinforce my memory as this is what I struggle with 
Apart from a blips on my behalf to add the right weekend course, oops with help I got there in the end many thanks to Mark and the rest of the team 

Lynn Dee

Clay Camp was over the top wonderful. I've been a potter for over 50 years and I learned a lot this time. So far, I've loved the Raku, my number 1 favorite. I watched the Ash glaze segment that I missed during the night. It's great too. My 3rd favorite was the woman who showed how to repair an electric kiln. I wished I had this info last year. It could have saved me from having to buy a new kiln. 

Sara Friedlander

This was my first experience with the Ceramic school and it’s camp program. I was overwhelmingly impressed with all the presentations I watched live and look forward to watching more online in the weeks to come. Each presenter was thorough, clear and passionate about the work they’re doing and about the particular aspect of glazing they were presenting. I learned so much, got all my questions answered, enjoyed the presenters personally as well as the information they shared so generously. I’ve come back to ceramics in my 70’s after 30 years away from it and I felt so at home and exhilarated by the experience this weekend. I’ll definitely do more of these camps. Many thanks!

Nia Pugacheva

ClayCamp has been a lifechanging experience for me. I am incredibly grateful for the opportunity to be a part of it: It helped me understand where I stand in my ceramic journey, things that I need to work on to move forward and most importantly - embrace my identity in clay arts. 
Information shared during the weekend was incredibly useful and sometimes mind-bending for both beginners and established potters.
It was amazing to meet likeminded people and I can't wait to come back in July for next ClayCamp!

Gwenda Copeland

I actually felt like I got what I paid for - and more. A lot if techniques, information & inspirations. I love that I can come back to it anytime to review - which I'm doing today. 
A few things I'd like to see done a bit differently ...  
It would be great to see live comments & questions. Someone almost always asks what I would if I can't be there live.
I also loved the ability to cast the videos to my tv - an option that disappeared after a bit. 
But overall, I'll definitely be back for more 
(I would have given the camp 4.5 stars if it were offered ;)

Maria Eklöw Bosaeus 

Livesändningarna med andra keramiker  är fantastiska. Dom är så naturliga och man känner igen sig i många frågor. 
Ekonomi och marknadsförings pratet kändes främmande. Inte kul alls. 
Jag försökte en gång komma in på gemensam verkstad men det funkade inte. 
Jourhavande gör ett bra jobb med att hålla ihop konferensen. Jag saknade några av dom andra internationella coacherna.

Lyndsay Dean

Thank you for inviting me to present at Clay Camp! It was an absolute pleasure to be among such a talented group of Clay Artists/Instructors and the Clay Community is a JOY! Huge thanks to Josh and his team for planning and organizing and facilitating, I cannot wait to watch the replays on all the presentations I missed!  

Barbara Bunge

Clay Camp was a great event with many presentations, good content, and well organized. Some of the topics were beneficial but others were on topics I wasnt interested in which was fine since the audience is so varied. Having 2-3 hour presentations followed by dedicated Q&A with the speaker was a great format. The breaks between presentations helped me maintain my private life too. I look forward to reviewing a number of presentations as well as viewing some I wasn't able to watch. 
The only suggestion I have is that while most presenters were well prepared, some rambled as well as got too distracted by peoples comments in the chat area. I was able to concentrate more when a presenter stuck to their script. Vegan Potter was a perfect balance of content, demonstrations, and script.
I will definitely look for workshops to take in the future. 

Debbie Bennett

I was unable to interact with much content, as it did not align with Australia very well. 
I will watch the replays and catch up even though i will miss the Q&A, there could have been more on, the gaps were very large.
The ability to network and resorces given was invaluble .
I will be back.
Thanks to all and for making it afordable.

Kathleen M Como

This has been well worth the money and more. I am brand new at pottery and this has given me a road map on what I need to think about next as far as the business end is concerned. My favorite was the tax class. All the questions that I had were answered by just listening. Josh has got me thinking about the MBA program because I can't seem to get started with a website. I just don't understand what I am doing and it is very frustrating. So now I will leave that to Josh and I will learn as much as I can about the social media part. I really enjoyed myself and I feel like I accomplished something. Thank you Josh and thank you to all the speakers.

Anette Henningson

I have attended multiple Clay Camp workshops and each time has been a fantastic experience. The 24x7 online live hand-building pottery workshops are detailed and insightful, making them both educational and enjoyable. I would definitely recommend these workshops to others, as they offer an interesting and engaging way to learn pottery.

Theo Darling

I bought the replay ticket thinking it would be nice to have in case I missed any sessions (since the event schedule was kind of intense) but maybe not strictly necessary. I'm very glad I did pick that ticket because there's so much jam-packed in here, even taking notes nonstop there's still so much more I can get out of this. The event's not even over yet and I have already gotten so much value from it--many times over the cost of the ticket. The high quality of practical information offered in this conference, not to mention the sheer volume of it, is mind-blowing and I can already see dozens of areas it's going to help me improve my approach to running a small business. 

Steve Rhoads

Yes! I will be back. I loved a lot of things. I met new colleagues with whom I will be doing the collaborative project for the next Clay Camp. This will be new and exciting for me. I learned more about the difference between the hobby and business potter from tax experts. And finally, absolutely priceless insights from Sarah Hussaini about unconscious bias on our website presentations - AND - understanding hidden non-billable costs that are causing us to underprice our products and kill our businesses.

Meghan Shaw

This was worth it 100%. I am in my first year of selling my work and it has been intimidating. I have always been scared of the business side of things and it has held me back. I feel extremely motivated and much more confident after hearing these speakers. They did a great job with variety of speakers/backgrounds/topics, great additional resources for future reference, and were so open and honest about their processes. 
Loved being able to ask lots of questions. Can't wait to do this again next year and hopefully I will have some growth in my process by then! Yay!


Tonya Abel

I participated in Clay Camp's 24x7 online live hand-building pottery workshops and found them incredibly valuable. Each session was packed with useful information, and I learned a ton. The instructors were highly skilled, and I felt fortunate to learn from such talented individuals. Although I didn't participate in the hands-on activities, I thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Overall, I would highly recommend these workshops to anyone interested in pottery.

Donnalee Blankenship

More info than any clay conference I've ever attended. So many great speakers on a wide range of topics. We covered how we track our time and money, awakening our creativity, making the jump from hobby potter to professional potter and business owner, taxes for creatives, different techniques, networking, collaboration projects, the 10X project, and on and on. Packed full of information and a great way to connect with other potters around the world. I highly recommend Clay Camp for taking your pottery to the next level. I will be back. High value for the price. Pay the extra for access to the replay videos. You will want it.

Pat Forst 

Great camp. I learned a lot about the importance of an email list and how to do the business part of pottery.
Thank you,
Pat Forst

THERESE iNZITARI

Being able to go back and watch the workshops again and be able to pause & replay is perfect. I not only gained new knowledge but have been inspired to try try different things. Loved it, well worth the money. Thanks to all the presenters/artists. Thanks Ceramic School.

Betty Britton

I’m just getting around watching the videos! Exciting!

Crystal waller

The learning and networking environment was par excellence. Also, being able to pop in and out to work around my schedule, knowing that I could still get the replay for the classes I had to miss is GREATLY appreciated. Finally, the tech platform was very user friendly and communications were timely and clear. Overall it was a great experience. 

Johanna Buckley

Being in Australia, the times were not ideal so didn't get to interact at the time.  However, being able to go back and watch the workshops again and be able to pause & replay was perfect.  I not only gained new knowledge but have been inspired to try try different things.  Loved it, well worth the money.  Thanks to all the presenters/artists.  Thanks Ceramic School.

Hal Fletcher

I learned so many new practices I have wondered about for a long time. Well, well forth every dime. Thanks to everyone.

Nyla Glover

Absolutely amazing artist content! Can’t wait for the next one! I learned SOOOOO much! So Inspiring!! Definitely made me a better artist! Ready to try new techniques!

Terri DiFabio

Leslie Hall

A wonderfully inspiring weekend jam packed with ideas to try on surface design!  I would recommend enrolling with the option to view the classes again as there were so many wonderful sessions that it was impossible to attend them all and retain all the information.  You are definitely going to want to revisit sessions.  I have been creating work non stop after attending!  I loved this experience!  Thank you to all the artists around the world and The Ceramic School for making this possible!

Susan Silvester

I thoroughly enjoyed my experience with Clay Camp's 24x7 online live hand-building pottery workshops. The variety and quality of the workshops were impressive, with knowledgeable artists who excelled at sharing their techniques. I especially appreciated the option to watch reruns if I missed any sessions. I would highly recommend these workshops to anyone interested in pottery.

Diane Evans

I recently participated in Clay Camp's 24x7 online live hand-building pottery workshops and found it to be an excellent experience. The course provided a wealth of information, and the interaction with the presenters was particularly enjoyable. I would definitely recommend these workshops to friends and colleagues.

Cynthia Coulter

Lots of great ideas, love the interaction with other potters!

Jennifer Young

I signed up for Clay Camp without really knowing anything about the artists or Ceramic School, the entity that put on Clay Camp. But I was interested in expanding my surface design skills and the price was right so I decided to go for it. I am SO glad I did! The teachers were incredible. Ceramic School did a fabulous job facilitating and curating the very packed long weekend workshop and I finished it having learned some new skills, totally inspired and full of gratitude. I will definitely take more classes with Ceramic School and, in all likelihood, will become a member. Many many thanks to Josh, the educating artists and everyone that came together to make it an fantastic weekend!

Anna Dawson

I thoroughly enjoyed the Clay Camp 24x7 online live hand-building pottery workshops. The instructors were both skilled and engaging, making the experience highly enjoyable. The flexibility of having access to replays was invaluable, as attending continuously would have been challenging. A highlight for me was witnessing the live techniques of two artists I admire. Overall, I would recommend these workshops to others.

Suzy Sanxter

I love Clay Camp! The instructors are so willing to share!  They are very thorough while still handling their own technical difficulties. It’s great I can watch replays forever too! Best wishes on all of your many endeavors Josh!

Nipa Gandhi


I absolutely love Clay Camp! I feel privileged to be part of the pottery and ceramics community. The workshop offers in-depth knowledge and techniques from experienced potters from all over the world.

The best part is the sense of belonging—it’s like being part of a close-knit tribe of like-minded, fun individuals where language is never a barrier. The weekend flies by so quickly!

I can’t wait for the next Clay Camp—I’m hooked for a lifetime of workshops!

Ellen A Thompson

I watched several workshops - they were all great.  I learned lots of new skills for hand building  and surface design.

Christy Dallahan

I absolutely loved Clay Camp! As a relatively new clay artist I really appreciated all of the step by step demonstrations and the clear explanations from the presenters. I came away with so many new ideas to try! I am already looking forward to next time!

Claude Hoffmann


Dear all, 
I just wanted to say how much I truly enjoyed these online courses. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to attend all of them live, which is why I opted for the replays. The diversity of artists, each showcasing different techniques with such passion and dedication, was absolutely fantastic. I found it truly inspiring.

I can't wait to get back from vacation to rewatch everything in peace.

I also have two or three small suggestions—not criticisms, just ideas for improvement for the next session. I would recommend removing the name banner of the artist after the introduction, as it takes up part of the screen, which is a bit unfortunate.

I didn't have access to the chat, so perhaps that's why I couldn't see the questions being asked. But if that's not the case, it would be great to display the questions on-screen, as there were moments when artists were answering, and I wasn’t sure what had been asked.

I also noticed some minor microphone issues—some were perfect, while others were difficult to hear.

Once again, I want to congratulate you on this fantastic organization. I’ll definitely be joining you for the next session!
Best regards from Indonesia!
Claude Hoffmann

Marla Z

What an amazing wealth of information shared over the course of this weekend! Even one workshop would have been worth the money; the quality of instruction was great. I was able to attend a handful of sessions live, and am looking forward to viewing the recordings of all the great workshops I missed! I am so grateful for all of the artists who shared their time and knowledge for this event!

One suggestion I have for future events would be a more heavily moderated chat section- the live chat is a valuable tool and I love how interactive the workshop can be, BUT the chat was often distracting for both the artist leading the session and me as a viewer, with so many people commenting... asking to be caught up as they signed on (very) late, complaining about technical issues that were often on their end, rude requests/ demands for the artists to change things about their presentations, etc. 

Brandee Rawlins

Clay Camp was such a wonderful experience!  The presenters were very knowledgeable and engaging.  I learned multiple new to me techniques that I can't wait to try.  I will definitely participate in clay camp again.   

Cathy Allen - Peterborough Ontario

I have been attending these amazing workshop weekends every time from very nearly the beginning, and love, love, love them! Yeah…sometimes there are silly tech glitches…but overall they are absolutely THE BEST! The range and variety of artist demos is always fabulous! This time around I especially liked the longer demos and work along theme, despite me having to finish my own work instead! I will hands down always sign up for these incredible weekend sessions. There is always something wonderful to learn.

Thank you Josh and team 😁

Edith Leigh

Hi!
I just love everything about Clay Camp!
Thank you once again to Joshua and the team for bringing us the extraordinary experience of Clay Camp! There is literally nothing like it in the world! 
The generosity of the tutors from around the world inviting us into their studio's, workspaces and homes in a live setting, while chatting with the participants and sharing their knowledge and processes is just so super special! 
I'll definitely be at the next one! 
Happy Potting!


Courtney Harmeling @coco_pots

I had a fantastic experience with Clay Camp's 24x7 online live hand-building pottery workshops. The value was incredible, and the presenters were wonderful. It's a no-brainer for anyone looking to expand their skills or simply enjoy a weekend working alongside like-minded individuals. I particularly appreciated the variety of styles and the international vibe of the workshop. Overall, it was a great experience.

Kath Kellaway

I found Clay Camp's 24x7 online live surface decoration pottery workshops incredibly inspiring. Living in Oceania, the accessibility of these workshops was a huge advantage. Although I couldn't attend as many live sessions as I wanted due to other commitments, it's fantastic that I can access all the workshops through the playbacks. The tutors are very generous with sharing their skills, knowledge, and how they make their work. I highly recommended these workshops because of the wealth of knowledge, connection and inspiration they provide. Thank you, Joshua and the team, for curating these workshops; you're awesome. 

Karen MacEntee

I enjoyed it very much!!! I want to take more work shops with Clay Camp in the future. If I have anything negative to say it’s about the video quality, but I couldn’t do any better!

Edwina Raye Tobin

What I was able to have the time to watch was great. I'm so looking forward to the replays when life is calmer . I'll be back . Thank-you .

Jess Stark

This was outstanding and the best use of $$ spent on ceramics resources for the past few years. I live in a remote area and this gave me access to knowledgeable artists, new techniques and ways to connect to others. Some of the presenters were very well prepared (Ellen Duvall) and some had technical challenges. All things considered, very good learning opportunity and I will do it again. 

Lisa Hewitt

Excellent mix of various surface decoration techniques.  A lot of talented artists who shared a lot of information.  I enjoyed it and am looking forward to reviewing the videos again in detail.
Biggest suggestion is around how questions are handled.  Some sessions were disrupted by too many questions (some of them the same question).  I would suggest a moderator for every session who can consolidate the questions so the artist does not have to manage questions while presenting.

Lyn Horvat

This was my first experience with this group.  It did not disappoint.  What an amazing time to watch and interact with all these amazing artists.  Being able to follow along and create next to these masters of their technique was an awesome experience.  
I will attend as much as I can for any new events!  I hope to one day be a presenter :) 


ANTHEA WENDT

I was super excited to attend this year's Clay Camp and all the lovely courses provided on surface decoration.  I learnt quite a few more tips and tricks to add to my own portfolio. Focussing the course just of surface decoration was tremendous, as I and my students tended to struggle with what or how to add decoration, patterns and texture to our pieces.
 
I liked having the captions, as sometimes I didn't catch a word or ingredient etc. 
Always.

Laura

Wonderful mix of workshops and presenters, incredible value. Very inspiring. The event was also very well organised.

Jennifer Holman

I loved every minute! Such generous artists, sharing their techniques and philosophies around art. I felt so inspired by every session I attended. Bravo!

Note to organizers: the real disappointment here was the online platform. One camera was generally crystal clear while the second close-up camera was blurry, stilted and glitchy. It happened in every session I attended and unfortunately wasted time and flustered many of your presenters. I hope you’ll be able to pass that feedback on to the web-conference company. You probably had to pay them a pretty penny to use their platform so it’s a shame they didn’t deliver. My only suggestion for improvement is to use a different one next time! I hope there will be a next time!

Bill Sparks

First time attendee.. found the sessions to be well organized and full of good practical content. Will use many of the tips and tricks learned.  I will likely sign up for the next camp because it is certainly a great value.

Roberta Capogna Bateman

I was only able to attend live to a couple of sessions and 10 minutes of pottery Pictionary as I had to be away that week end, but what I have seen so far looked very interesting and good fun! certainly look forward to the replays being available and will look out for the next opportunity to participate! A big thank you goes to Joshua for organising an event with such a vast variety of subjects and participating artists, and for being so helpful and quick in responding when there were issues with connection. 

Francesca Tolot

I love the Clay camp Unfortunately due to work I missed quite a few classes, so I’m glad I paid the full price for the replay👏🏻

Lorna Cowan 

Clay Camp was inspiring and full of tips and tricks no matter your skill level.

Karen Hatfield

I love the variety of ceramists that taught. I didn't end up watching very much live as I was called in to work. I look forward to viewing the recordings. I think the chat and Q and A probably appeal to others more than me. I plan to fast forward through the parts in which the artist who is teaching stops to read the questions or comments. It seemed that most of the questions viewers were asking had already been answered earlier. The artists I watched were super patient though, which was nice to see. 

Wendy Siegel

Clay camp was great, packed with information.  It was intense but so useful.  I was surprised that instructors really did teach for 3 full hours.  I'm looking forward to downloading some of the sessions I wasn't able to watch. The international nature of the audience was wonderful too. Kudos to all who organized, taught, and participated this program.

My suggestions for improvements are:  
1.  Too much time spent answering questions from the audience at the beginning, so that focused instruction didn't happen into well into the session. Next time don't take questions until a designated Q & A period after the guts of the session has happened. 
2.  Alot of time was spent in multiple sessions going over what underglazes, slips, tools etc were. Perhaps a first session that focused on these basics would have been helpful.
3. Most instructors were very well prepared but a couple seemed like they hadn't adequately outlined their session or tested their equipment. 

Adriana T Escobedo

This is the second time i participated in a event like this with ceramic school and as the first time, best thing ever! I love the community and the sharing and the beautiful souls who participate! Josh is the best bring this idea to live and of course the other people who help behind! I cant wait to participate again! I learned so much in those 4 days! Thanks for this!!

 @gatothorceramica

Linda Mahoney

It was awesome to the point of being overwhelming. I live in a rural area & had some internet issues so I am SO glad I purchased the downloadable version and can’t wait for its release. I would definitely recommend this to others. Great job! Thanks!!

Crystal Waller — Common Clay Studio, Columbia, TN. Artist. Maker. Commoner. 

I thought Clay clamp was brilliantly contrived and executed. The format was very easy to follow and the engagement was priceless. I know this was a huge undertaking to organize, and I think you all for bringing this to our Pottery making community. I will definitely participate in future camps.

Dominika Dybowska

It was amazing ! Thank You thank You so much for possibility to take classes from so many talented artists. Unfortunately I had to work during the camp and I could join only few, but can't wait for recordings to watch all. Thank You again and for sure I'll sign up for next addition. 
Greetings from Poland,
Dominika "NicDwaRazyArt"


Maria Kalikaki

Clay Camp was very interesting and informative. The tutors shared their knowledge and answered questions without hesitation in a warm and friendly manner. I learned  new techniques that I will put to practice. Something that I liked very much is that everyone could learn something, regardless of their level in ceramics.  I wll be coming back for sure!

Lorraine Rose

I have waited many years for courses /workshops regarding decorating pottery, stencils, transfers, slips, screen printing, carving , freehand etc . I am mor motivated then I have been in yrs . Procreate & cricut are wonderful tools . I had no idea . Thanks for all the artists that took time out from there busy lives to do these workshops  & all the organizers & moderators , great job 

Deborah Corley

Jerene Kruse

Clay Camp was wonderful!  I watched as many as possible with the live version. I am anxiously awaiting the replay. There was a variety of classes and each one had important information with their specialized technique. I learned something new with each presenter. The price was very reasonable for the quality of presenters. This was my first time watching Clay Camp and I will be back for the next time. I have taken several other online classes but from only one potter, Clay Camp was great being able to watch so many techniques. It was inspiring!

Jenny R. Wear

I loved this opportunity to learn! When I wasn't glued to my computer, I had to be at my "real job", so I'm glad that the sessions will be available for me to go back and see again at my own pace. There was so much information that I got a little overwhelmed, but that's why you recorded it, right? There were a few technical issues, and I wish everyone had the same quality of equipment, but I understand that this isn't really possible. In true Pottery Community fashion, everyone just rolled with it and made it work. I'd add my own confetti here just to make a point, but I don't know how! :-)

JoEllen DeNicola

What an amazing weekend! The instructors were clear and shared great techniques and tips.  I wasn't sure how it would be to have so many programs back to back, however time flew and I was online from 6am to 9pm enjoying every moment.  Thank you all!

Evelyn Welch 

I enjoyed the clay camp very much even after some glitches on signing in. It was my first and must say I learned so much and took as many notes as possible. I was able to use my phone to log on once and would’ve love to do some house chores while listening to the speaker.  The timing was perfect and the speakers were very engaging. I had intentions on taking part of the  demo but preferred to take notes instead. I think Q&A should be save for last, if possible because it appears to slow down the demo. 

Tori Pisarski

As a first time clay camper, I hade no idea what to expect. I thought I would watch here and there, play with clay here and there and no big deal. Man was I wrong. I got sucked into the vortex of knowledge and awesomeness from the first video. I didn't sleep, didn't shower, I barely ate and told my husband "the kids are yours".  I am so ready for the next camp. I will stock up on ready to eat snacks and meals. I will purchase MANY energy drinks to have on hand, I will prep for EVERY class (because they are all so good), I will take the day after camp off from work, you know to catch up on sleep and I will send the rest of my family on a cruise. Mama needs to focus!! So too sum it up.... I freaking loved it!

Elite Shaier

I loved it. There was so much to learn and be inspired by and the artists were generous with their knowledge. The only thing that bothered me was that there were three or four sessions that had to do with silk screens and I don’t have the equipment to make those so it was a bit disappointing. Over all- great and I’d come again.

Tawnya hewitt

Super great all around. 
For the artists that allowed to follow along. It would have been nice to know ahead of time, in their class description. Ie. If following along, have a green ware item. Vs bisque item. Or have vinyl stencils cut of your choosing etc.  But otherwise so good. 

Diane Allen

Absolutely loved the variety and the amazing artists with their wisdom and knowledege. My only complaint would be the audio and/or clarity wasn't that great from a few artists or they weren't holding things in the right spot when demonstrating so we could see properly.
Otherwise thanks for an amazing weekend - look forward to the next one!

Rach H

Clay camp from a user standpoint was great! The platform was easy to use, the interactive features were great and overall I had a wonderful experience and that’s not even considering all of the amazing artists that presented! I’ll be back next year for sure!

Dianne Dolan

That was the best weekend ever! Clay camp was amazing once again! I watched and participated as much as I could but I need my beauty sleep lol, so I’m very thankful I’ll be able to replay them at any time. To learn from artists all around the world is priceless! A lot of time and energy went into those three days and I am most appreciative and definitely inspired!
Thank you all, I’ll see you next year!

Nona Spitzer

Hi, Josh :)
..Even though I thought some of the presentations didn't pertain to me, I learned a lot. 
I was surprized about the depth and detail from the artists. They really know their craft. 
I was inspired and for me that is the purpose of teaching. 

Thanks to Fabiola for keeping some of the artists on track ;) 
What a tremendous job putting this together! Thanks to everyone who spent countless hours on this endeavor. 

I will definitely be back and next time I'll make sure I register on my own PC and not on Hubby's lap top. LOL!   That's why my hubby's name kept showing up instead of mine . 
Again, many thanks for a great workshop!
My best to you and everyone, :) 
               Nona Spitzer







Jeanie Ciskowski

I had such a wonderful weekend participating in Clay Camp!  I learned so much, and it was so inexpensive for the massive number of quality workshops on such a variety of techniques.   It prompted me to become a monthly member to enjoy all the other amazing workshops on the site.

Nyla A. Robinson-Glover

This was my first but certainly not my last Clay Camp. The artist roster was incredible. My only regret is that I couldn’t take EVERY SINGLE WORKSHOP! Just watching those amazing artists show their craft was awe inspiring and motivated me to be better. I can’t WAIT for the videos to continue learning and growing as a ceramic artist. Absolutely amazingly wonderful!! Thank you to the amazing team that put this all together for all of us. So much appreciation!

MJ Gavenda

So much great information! Every instructor I viewed was so generous with their time, knowledge and techniques. Best instructional value around! Can't wait to go back and watch the ones I missed.

Adela Stajníková

Clay Camp gave me more than I expected. It was an excellent course that gave me a lot of energy and motivation to continue working with ceramics. Although I use many of the techniques shown, each instructor taught me something new. Thank you, you organized the course perfectly. I felt like I was among friends. 

Sarah Monger

Clay Camp was great! Though I was not able to attend all workshops in real time the 5 or so I saw were interesting and helpful. I appreciate the replay options. I got a lot of ideas for my practice and, even tho I might not use the techniques, it was inspiring to watch. So much variety. Folks seemed to generally be comfortable with technology. 
One thing to consider another group does...they have a volunteer monitor chat and direct questions to presenter to assit with flow. 
I will look forward to next one.

Shelley Ellefso. 

Fantastic classes!!! Last years was great but this year (2025) far exceeded expectation!! Thank you so much for all your hard work! Great compilation of artists!!

Joan Walsh

It was exciting and inspirational to meet the artists, to see their work and gain insight into their techniques. There were also lots of resources and tips from participants, too. I will be back next time and I can't wait to re-watch the sessions.

jill warner

EXCELLENT, EXCELLENT, EXCELLENT!   The whole weekend was so informative.,  I ended up watching most of the classes even though I wasn't interested in the instructors topic. I learned so much!  I can't wait to be able to replay them.   You can count on me watching everytime the camp is offered.   Thank you!

I loved the discussions and live interactions with the presenters. I learned so much!  It’s the subtle nuances of how each potter approaches their work or the invaluable tips they shared that really made this a wonderful learning experience. Thank you! 

Lori Buff

I have been making and teaching pottery for over a decade and I still learned a lot from watching the demonstrations. It was also really fun to see potters in all parts of the world and visit their studios from the comfort of my home. I’m looking forward to seeing the recordings of the demos I was unable to attend.

Dawn Eskins

I absolutely loved the creative variety of the classes but also locations. So interesting to see artists managing product in different climates and humidity challenges. 

Nancy buterbaugh 

This was my first time, it was amazing! I enjoyed every minute I could watch.  So many new ideas and helpful hints in every class. Can’t wait for the recording. I will definitely be back next time. 

Meg McKenna

Absolutely loved the weekend. I was exhausted, to say the least, but all was great. I will definitely be back. Presenters were great and very well prepared.

Technology was a little difficult for some, and some lagging, but not sure what can be done about that.

Some paid too much attention to chat and it broke their focus on the workshop. Would prefer to have people leave questions in the Q&A and have people like or dislike questions, so important ones are movingd to the top.

Other than that loved all of it.

The surface design clay camp was awesome!! There was so much good information and inspiration. There were so many good artists to learn from.  I am so happy I spent the few extra dollars to have the lifetime recordings to go back and watch over and over.

I really enjoyed the camp. There were a variety of classes and a fantastic group of professionals who just wanted to share the excitement of their craft. Everyone was open, inclusive, and genuinely excited to meet creatives from all over the world. I learned a lot, was inspired and intrigued by most, and met some wonderful people. I am glad I got the replay as well. Can't wait until the next Clay Camp!

I was only able to watch a couple courses as I was traveling but they were so informative and the teachers were very accommodating to the questions. I really enjoyed the conversational aspect to the format as long as the teacher gave themselves enough time to complete the tasks. It would be nice to ask people to put their questions in the Q & A instead of the chat and have another ceramics expert answer some of the questions to help out the instructor and then have a way to highlight the ones they aren't able to answer for the instructor to answer. Overall you have brought some amazing talent to your "camp" and I purchased the replays so I can come back and really spend time watching and learning. I also really liked that there was a theme around surface design. So great! I look forward to the next camp and more amazing courses. Nicely done.

I had to take an unexpected trip and was unable to watch the videos this past weekend. I did however, pay the $59 and look forward to watching them this weekend. A friend who took part told me they were excellent.

While in the middle of a creative block I stumbled upon Clay Camp. It was amazing. I saw so many techniques that I had never thought of before or tried that by the end of the weekend my head was spinning with ideas. I can't wait to get started.

It was so fun to feel like I was hanging out in the studios of all the artists. I loved seeing their spaces and styles of working. Brain is full of much wonderful inspiration--what a line up!

I absolutely loved Clay Camp. I was surprised at the complete and practical information provided by such a variety of really top quality artists. I had a great weekend and will definitely either become a member and/or join another Clay Camp in the future.

This is my second clay camp and I absolutely loved it.  Wasn't able to attend all which is why I LOVE and highly recommend the replays.  It allows me to do the tutorials on my schedule and to revisit a segment as much as I like.  Looking forward to the next one!!  Thank you again for such an amazing and informative event.

You had a wonderful line up of instructors at Clay Camp.  I especially liked that for some of the techniques you had more than one workshop. It s helpful to see the different methods of doing the same basic thing. Thank you for your time and effort.
