TEEN WORKSHOPS/Camps
Print Making
Why create just one image when you can create many? In this hands-on workshop, students will explore a variety of printmaking techniques while designing original artwork to share and reproduce. Create a custom T-shirt logo, a series of greeting cards, or special prints for friends and family. Participants will learn the basics of silkscreen, drypoint, and monoprinting, along with how to properly mat and mount their finished pieces for display. Printmaking opens the door to endless creativity, once you learn the process, the possibilities are limitless!
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.
Enameling and Glass
Discover the art of enameling—an ancient technique that fuses vibrant glass powders and spun glass onto metal using heat. In this hands-on workshop, students will design and create their own unique pieces using copper and colorful glass materials. Projects will be fired in a small kiln and, once cooled, polished to a beautiful finished shine. Participants will have time to complete several finished pieces to take home. Come explore this timeless art form that is still widely practiced today!
Clay 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!
