Join us for Summer creativity and fun. Children will be inspired by our weekly programs, giving them a chance to learn and create in new ways. Explore using a mixture of media from clay to paint, fibers, collage, printmaking and drawing. Something new each day!

Our summer art camp is open to children ages 6–10. Children must bring a snack, drink and lunch. We will take a short outdoor recess in the park playground.

Parents are invited to come 15 minutes early on the last Friday of camp, for a small art show of all children’s work.

Details: Art Meets Innovation: STEAM Week. Explore how science and art combine through physics, engineering, geometry, chemistry and more. Planned projects:

Monday: The Science of Paint. Make natural paints using earth pigments. Explore how binders (egg tempera, oil, and water) affect paint properties. Create pigment charts and artwork using homemade paints.
Tuesday: The Physics of Clay and Ceramics. Hands-on exploration of clay properties (plasticity, shrinkage, and firing). Demonstrate how different firing temperatures affect ceramic strength. Create textured ceramic tiles that demonstrate various surface techniques.
Wednesday: Art and Engineering: Bridge Sculptures. Build bridges and structures from clay or mixed media. Test and reinforce sculptures to explore load-bearing design. Decorate the bridges with carved or painted artistic designs.
Thursday: Math in Art: Geometric Masterpieces. Create geometric ceramic tile patterns using precise measurements. Design tessellations or mathematical mandalas with clay stamps or drawings. Connect math concepts like symmetry, ratios, and Fibonacci patterns to art.
Friday: Nature Meets Art & Chemistry of Glazes. Use natural materials (leaves, flowers) to press patterns into clay pieces. Learn the basics of glaze chemistry and how minerals create color. Decorate ceramic pieces using colorful glaze combinations.

Special Activity: STEAM Showcase. Display student work with explanations of the science and math behind their creations for parents and visitors.

Class Size and Safety: Eight students max per class.

Ages: This course is open to ages 6 - 10 years.
