Join us for an exciting four-day summer camp experience where you will unleash your creativity and explore the versatile world of air-dry clay!

This camp is perfect for teens who love experimenting with different art mediums.  

One of the best things about air dry clay is that you can take the knowledge and techniques you learn with you and continue to create at home. With this newfound skill, the possibilities are endless!

Over the four days in this workshop, you will learn various techniques to create tabletop sculpture, relief and freeform artworks to hang on the wall.  The projects are designed to explore your creativity and develop your own unique style.  

You will be amazed at how many uses there are for this easy and fun medium!  We’ll poke holes and add string, and rope and we’ll glue rods to elevate small sculptural works.  We’ll add color too.

We will draw inspiration from the beautiful coral reefs found in our oceans and use them to create unique relief artwork. You will also create a small artwork series by layering the clay.  

By the end of this four-day camp, you will have a collection of beautiful clay sculptures that you can proudly display at home and be inspired to continue creating. So, come join us for a hands-on, fun-filled summer camp.
