Fire, Glass, and Barbed Needles -- Oh, My!

October 26th through October 30th, 9:00am - 3:00pm

This is not your average craft camp.  For curious, focused makers who love a little adventure in their art - this camp is pure creative adrenaline (the safe kind).

Here's where young artists (ages 6 - 10) dive into five mornings of bold, hands-on artmaking using real tools, real techniques, and just the right amount of thrilling challenge. Guided by an experienced instructor,  in a safety-first environment, students explore art forms that feel a little daring — and a lot empowering.

Over 5 immersive days campers will:

• Create vibrant batik pysanky eggs using hot wax resist techniques.
• Learn to safely score and cut glass to design colorful mosaics full of pattern and light.
• Experiment with layering and surface design to create glowing, sculptural wax forms.
• Needle-felt dragons and other mystical creatures, sculpting wool into dimensional forms with texture and personality.
• Lots of fun breaks for movement 
• All materials provided and safety gear provided.

Adventures in Clay

November 2nd through November 6th, 9:00am - 3:00pm

Squish it, roll it, pinch it, coil it, carve it, and create! If you love getting your hands messy and making amazing things, this is the camp for you.

Spend the week discovering the fascinating journey of clay—from how it forms deep within the earth to the many ways artists transform it into beautiful works of art. We'll explore the different types of clay, including air-dry clay, Model Magic, oven-bake clay, and polymer clay, learning what makes each one unique and the best ways to use them.

Young artists will focus on essential hand-building techniques like pinching, coiling, slab building, rolling, texturing, carving, and joining pieces together as they create whimsical gnomes, colorful fish, wise owls, tiny creatures, decorative bowls, imaginative sculptures, and more. Along the way, they'll experiment with texture tools, stamps, and found objects to add personality and detail to every creation.

Projects will focus on air-dry, Model Magic, and oven-bake clays.  By the end of the week, campers will head home with a collection of unique clay creations, new sculpting skills, and an appreciation for one of the world's oldest and most versatile art forms.
