Our youth art camps are returning to Lantau Pottery Studio this summer with a special focus on Hong Kong ceramics workshops for teens and younger children. These camps offer the ideal summer activities in Mui Wo, combining creativity with skill-building in a professional studio environment.

  • Morning Session (10 AM – 1 PM): Ideal for children ages 6–11, focusing on exploration and project‑based learning to build foundational skills. A perfect choice for summer kids activities in Mui Wo that encourage playful discovery.

  • Afternoon Session (2 PM – 5 PM): Designed for teens ages 12–17, emphasizing technique, skill development, process journaling, and portfolio building. These are true Hong Kong ceramics workshops for teens, giving young artists a path toward advanced practice.

Three Core Pillars

More than making pots.

Our 5-day curriculum is built on three interlocking areas of development — technical, creative, and cultural.

Materials Literacy

The Science of Clay

Students learn the stages of clay, structural integrity, and develop a deep appreciation for the material and its origins.

Creative Exploration

Process-Led Art

Wheel throwing and hand-building build resilience and fine-motor skills, turning technical challenges into creative pivots.

Art & Culture

Clay as History

Daily insights into global ceramic traditions and the human technological advances that ceramics made possible.
