Cardboard Camp with Josie Colt

Create your own room or house made of cardboard! Begin by drawing out a space specially designed by you. This could be a dream bedroom, your family house, a storefront, a sanctuary for cats - whatever inspires you. Next, we will cut, glue and hinge cardboard to bring our designs to 3-D life. Finer details will be created with paper, fabric, string, and found objects. After making the space, construct people or creatures to inhabit your space. Bring it home to hang on your wall!

Color and Collage with Ted DeMille & Susan Pelis
In this workshop, campers will integrate painting, collage, songs, poetry, and games into a week of creativity.  Young artists will make hand-painted, textured paper with watercolor on wet paper.  They will use salt, sponges, Plexiglass, plastic wrap, straws, and marbleizing techniques to create a variety of nature settings illustrating water, sky, various lands, and times of day.  These papers will be the raw materials for creating collages that tell picture stories.  Collage themes will be self-directed, inspired by the collage illustrations of Leo Lionni, Lois Ehlert, Steve Jenkins, and Eric Carle.

Scrap Happy! with Alice Webber

Let's get tangled up in the threads of creativity! Fabric of all texture, sheen and color will be our medium this week. We will explore fabric through tearing, cutting and glueing as we weave tapestries, "paint" with yarn, and sculpt fabric bowls. Our artists will come together to contribute to a collaborative mural to share alongside their individual pieces in the art show on Friday!

1:00 pm - 4:00 pm

Color and Collage Quilts with Ted DeMille and Susan Pelis

This workshop will utilize the same paper texturing techniques as those in Color and Collage, but will offer opportunities for alternative exploration. Using the paper making and collage technique, students will create collages of assorted sizes and arrange the different size collages into a geometric quilt pattern complete with colored borders. Skills and strategies including complimentary color choices, quilt composition, tessellation, quilt patterns and themes will be shared. 91ÖÆƬ³§ will also be encouraged to create functional items such as bookmarks, and backpack keychains. 91ÖÆƬ³§ do not need to have taken Color and Collage to sign up for this session.

Large Scale Imaginary Abodes with Molly Simpson

Have you ever thought about what you might want in your dream house? Using children’s books and the work of other artists as inspiration, we will construct large-scale, 2-D paper pieces over the course of the week, thoughtfully adding details and designs that encourage a closer look. Using a variety of materials including fine-tip pens, chalk and oil pastel, paint pens and watercolor, imaginary abodes will come to life.

Ages 11-13

9:00 am - 12:00 pm

Mixed Media Relief Assemblage with Molly Simpson

In these textural explorations, artists will use wood as a base, constructing mixed-media relief assemblage works of art, integrating materials such as clay, wood, found objects, and wire. We will practice color mixing with acrylic paint and hone our skills with paper mâché and attachment techniques over the course of the week.

1:00 pm - 4:00 pm

Sustainable Stitch - Fabric Art with Alice Webber

This week, our artists will be taking inspiration from the contemporary Japanese art form, kinusaiga, which transformed fabric pieces into creative and sustainable art. We will explore this technique through creating intricate fabric collages with simple materials including fabric scraps and foam boards, resulting in textured artworks without sewing. It will be a week spent building on our drawing and composition skills, color knowledge and curiosity, all without needing to thread a single needle!

Ages 6-7

What a Relief: A colorful exploration into three-dimensional forms with Alice Webber  

In this camp, we will turn our artists' eye to nature for inspiration while stepping out of our comfort zones to play with color and scale. We will explore different mediums, focusing on watercolors and acrylics to bring a relief sculpture to life. Oscillating between small- and large-scale pieces, a full color spectrum and monochromatic themes, our artists will lean into the way scale changes our experience of a work of art. Artists will blend new and recycled materials to build cohesive pieces that we will showcase at our art show on Friday. This camp is getting curiouser and curiouser.

1:00 pm - 4:00 pm

Wild Forms: Painting & Sculpture from Nature with Rachel Alexandrou

In this immersive art camp, students will explore the natural world through both painting and sculpture.

Working with colored pencil and watercolor, they will begin the week with observational sketches and paintings. The second half of the week we will move to three-dimensional materials to translate what they see and feel in nature into expressive artworks.

Nature journaling will be an integral part of the class. Each student will receive a journal to record simple observations, sketches, and creative ideas throughout the week.

91ÖÆƬ³§ will look closely at plants, insects, textures, and landscapes as inspiration for their work, creating paintings and small sculptural forms using a combination of natural materials and traditional art supplies.

We will look at works by artists Ohn Mar Win for whimsy, Etel Adnan for abstraction, Bill Traylor for his symbolism, and Maud Lewis for patterns. 

Emphasis will be placed on observation, experimentation, and creative problem-solving, encouraging students to move fluidly between two-dimensional and three-dimensional processes. Projects may include painting from direct observation, creating textured and abstract landscapes, and constructing small sculptural forms inspired by natural structures and patterns of growth.

This camp fosters curiosity, confidence, and a deeper connection to the natural world, while introducing students to a range of artistic processes in a supportive and exploratory environment.

Woven Worlds: Material Cycles and Explorations in Color with Monique Boutin

What are the sources, stories, and life cycles of the materials we use? Where does color come from? How can materials and color create meaning? In this workshop, we’ll source and explore materials and color from the natural world around us as artist-naturalists to create with fiber arts, found materials, and natural dyes and inks. We will experiment with different techniques including weaving with fibers and found objects, felting with wool, and natural dyeing with plants such as marigold and onion skins, and lichens. Investigations of color will continue through natural inks and monotype prints on paper and fabric, where we’ll also play with composition, shape and space along with cyanotypes with found materials. Join us as we create a variety of individual and collaborative weavings, felted creations, dyed fibers, and prints, both indoors and out. We’ll take inspiration from the natural world, other artwork, and our own lives to create an exhibition of artwork and large-scale collaborative weaving for families to experience at the end of the week.

Large Scale Abstract Landscape Painting with Yasamin Holland

Working big is fun. In this camp, we will look to abstract landscape painters for inspiration, noticing the way color, shape, pattern, and texture work together to form dynamic works of art. Artists will learn about abstract art as they practice color mixing, using an assortment of tools as they layer their compositions over the course of the week. Smaller landscape studies and mini projects will be available each day to round out our exploration of the natural world.

1:00 pm - 4:00 pm

The Woodshop: Enchanted Edition with Robin Booty

For this week, we will encounter the endless possibilities of a "simple" piece of wood. Using wooden boards, random odds and ends, and bits and bobs we find outside in nature, we will explore how we can transform a simple piece of wood into a work of art. We will use hammers and nails to create pictures and make connections. Together, we will learn about making signs and creating a group project, as well as creating a sign for our own special place. A simple block of wood is like a chunk of magic. We can mold and shape and transform if we just can see it.

With this older group we will learn about whittling as well as how to transform a drawing through woodburning.
