Service Description

Monday-Friday 10am-3:30pm (noon-1: lunch) Ages: rising 1stgrade-rising 5th grade Teacher- student ratio: 8:1 (max enrollment 16 students) $375 All materials included (students will need to bring a lunch, water bottle, appropriate clothing for the weather, extra sweatshirt, and clothes they can get dirty-we have aprons too) Kids will have the opportunity to experiment and explore their creativity in a variety of materials and approaches to art-making both inside our barn studio and outside on our 17-acre property while having fun and meeting new friends. Each project is designed to inspire students to immerse themselves in creative play and experimentation while exploring materials and processes they may not typically have access to. We teach each student at their level and if they decide to take a second week of camp they will progress to more advanced projects, push their ideas further and develop their skills. Projects and materials we will be exploring: Clay: We will be making animals and imaginary creatures in clay, a clay bowl and/or platter with natural textures, stamps, and glaze. Nature walk: we will do several nature walks to gather natural materials for our clay work. Fused and Slumped Glass: We will be making a glass pendant, bowl, and a sun catcher or bouquet of three glass flowers for the window or garden. Relief and Silkscreen Printmaking: We will be printing on paper, and t-shirts and/or other clothing the campers bring from home and want to print on. Small-scale metal Casting: Each student will create a small casting for jewelry/pendants or key-chains. Card-board Fort Building: We will collaborate on an imaginative cardboard fort structure which we will paint together. Friday Exhibition and Party: All campers will work together to set up an exhibition showcasing their art from the week to share with friends and family. Instructors: Keven Brunett and Kristin Thielking
