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: (may change due to campers' interests and experience) Clay: We will be making imaginary clay creatures and colorful glazed shapes assembled into a 20" totem secured to a base, a glazed clay bowl and/or platter with original stamps made by the campers. Nature walk: we will do several nature walks to gather natural materials for textures and prints Fused and Slumped Glass: We will be making glass and wire animals and insects, a glass bowl, a sun catcher or glass and wire flowers for the window or garden. Silkscreen Printmaking: We will be creating original drawings to be printed on t-shirts and/or other clothing the campers bring from home and want to print on.
