Clay & Play Camp

Instructors: Yup – ALL of our Primo Potters! Nikki Ballere Callnan, Margaret Dennett, and Anne Pentland  

Here is an opportunity for young ceramics lovers to create and play while learning techniques in clay. Sometimes it just feels good to mush and mash, but don’t you worry, we will help your little clay crafters make wonderful sculptures and tiny vessels or cups. While learning basic hand and coil construction, and with an added bit of imagination, students will design lavish ceramic lovables all their own. Students will also spend some time on glazing techniques to add color to their creations.  Get your hands in clay, it’s a great way to play! $195

Cloud Camp – a walk in the clouds! 

Instructors: “Cloud 9” Artist Team 

Your art enthusiasts will be on “cloud 9” in this very special art camp, “a walk in the clouds.”  In honor of our 20 YEAR ANNIVERSARY, we are recreating our namesake Cloud Sculpture & Science Camp. Through this whimsical art experience, we will give our “cloud-ologists” a chance to discover the ethereal art and science of clouds, using pastels, watercolor, acrylic paints, and mixed media materials to create simple studies and complex sculptural works of art! From there the ideas and the art challenges will get “loftier.” Students will design small sculptural art forms, as well as some collaborative largescale works of ephemeral inspiration and beauty $325
