3-Day Workshops

Canvas Painting: june 12-14 (Ages 7+)

This workshop will be focused on the more traditional art form of painting. We will learn about color mixing, shapes, proportions, and detail. Everyone will choose a photo or image, which we will project, sketch, and paint in a photo-realistic style. Feel free to think about your image in advance and bring ideas in with you, but there will be loads of reference ideas available.

Jurassic WOrld: June 19-21 (Ages 5+)

With the release of "Jurassic World" in theaters on June 22, it's no prehistoric wonder that dinosaurs will be featured in this fantasy art workshop! For three days, we will re-create the island of Isla Nublar by sculpting and painting many of your favorite dinosaurs. If you are a Jurassic fan, this series is for you!

papermaking: June 26-28 (ages 9+)

In this workshop we will learn how to use recycled materials to make paper by hand. Together, we will build and learn how to use the “mold and deckle” technique of papermaking, make paper pulp, and learn all the different kinds of things that you can do with pulp beyond just paper to write on! There are so many possibilities and there will be plenty of time for experimentation, so bring your thinking cap and be prepared to get wet!

Marvel Heroes: July 10-12 (Ages 5+)

Did you know that Ant-Man was one of the founding members of the Avengers? He worked alongside Iron Man, Thor, Wasp, and Hulk to create one of the most popular comic book superheroes in the world. Come celebrate the movie release of "Ant-Man and the Wasp" by joining our workshop - where we will sculpt, paint, and draw various figures from the Marvel family.

Printmaking: July 17-19 (Ages 9+)

Printmaking is an art form that has many different shapes. In this workshop we will explore two different kinds of printing, stencil silk-screening and woodblock printing. We will learn how to screen print, create stencils, make woodblock stamps, and print on paper as well as fabric. At the end everyone will go home with a tee shirt that they designed themselves!

Papier-Mâché hot air balloon: July 24-26 (Ages 5+)

In this whimsical series, we will create and personalize our very own hot air balloons via papier mache! Meaning "chewed-up paper" in French, this art form has been used for thousands of years. Ancient Egyptians made ornate masks, while Persians created long-lasting bowls and trays. Once our hot air balloon is conceptualized, we will paint and decorate them - and even make a creature sculpture ready for a ride in the gondola!
