Scholarships available for summer vacation Art Explorer & Clay Camps

MANCHESTER, NH-  Studio 550 is offering art & clay camps that are sure to get kids creating and laughing this summer vacation. Each of these week-long camps run from 2:30-5 p.m.  The studio staff has over 30 cumulative years of experience working with kids!

Scholarships from the Clay for Kids Fund are available for about 5 campers to receive a half priced registration. Funds are limited, so please only apply if you have financial need. Funds for the Clay for Kids Scholarship come both from donations and sales of abandoned workshop pottery sold for $1 each. (We only put old pots out for sale if they have been here for over 6 months with no attempt to pick them up.) To apply, visit the “Youth Programming” page on the Studio 550 website.
