TEEN WORKSHOPS/Camps
Enameling Workshop 
Enameling is done by fusing glass powder or pieces to something metal, the art is in the design, colors and various techniques. We will use copper and powders along with bits of spun glass and fuse it together in a small kiln. After it cools, students will polish the copper piece to give it a finished look. Students will have time to make several final pieces. Come try this ancient art form still used today.

Painting Workshop 
Compare different types of paints (acrylic, oil, watercolor, gouache) on different surfaces, experiment with innovative styles, share your own techniques and explore your preference for abstract vs. realistic subjects. Work on color mixing, layering, combining watercolor pencil and wet methods, drybrush, ink over for final details. Try pen air working outside on a landscape or springhouse study.

Printmaking Workshop 
Why make just one picture when you can make many? Design a T-Shirt logo, card series, special prints for your friends and family. Learn how to silk screen, dry point, make several unique monoprints. I met an artist who made live fish prints and then set the fish free! Maybe you will find something that inspires you to make more than just one of something. I learned printmaking in high school and started my own business making team shirts!


Ceramics Workshop 
 
Time to get creative with clay: maybe you would like to make a vase, a lifelike head, a sculpture of a dance, a mother holing a child, a decorative bowl, or a serving plate. So much in our homes are made of ceramics.
*Ceramics are clay pieces fired to a hard durable "bisque," then "glazed" with a powdered glass paint which is fired again to create a hard, slick, waterproof, brilliant colored surface.
(please allow 2 weeks for the drying time, firing, glazing, re-firing processes)

Drawing Workshop 
Love to draw with graphite, charcoal, colored pencil or pastels? Let’s experiment with all of these looking at faces, figures, animals and still life this summer. Work in a studio setting, surrounded by emerging artists’ work. We will all be at different levels of experience so be prepared to learn and be inspired by others. If you have a sketchbook bring it with you and remember why you love to draw! 

Sculpture Workshop 
Sculpture is creating 3-Dimensional artwork, large or small, soft or hard, abstract or representational. Remember the joy of handling play-doh, building a snow person, and turning a box into a fort? Students will use a variety of materials (wood, clay, wire, paper, plastic, etc.) to create several sculptures. They will have fun learning techniques of sculpture, developing textures and shadows, terms, tools and styles. If you like to build things, come sculpt with us. Rain or shine - we will work outside on beautiful days!

Jewelrymaking Workshop 
Jewelry is one of the oldest art forms and is worth a trip to a museum to see how the ancient cultures made theirs! Join us for this relaxing and focused project- designing wearable art. We will explore basic beginner necklace, pendant, earrings, and bracelets using the wide variety of materials available today. You will learn how to use tools to make a metal wire spiral, loop, clamp and crimp. The more confident you become the better your designs will become and reflect your personal style. The colors, textures and choices keep you coming back to make more!
