Our first Summer Pop-Up filled up so fast we have scheduled a second Pop-Up! We've got the perfect week of art activities designed to spark creativity and build confidence for kiddos 6 and up! Our friendly teacher Bobbi McKinnon will be leading the fun the week of Monday, July 29th through Friday, August 2nd with two-hour classes each day from 10 am to noon.
In this one-of-a-kind collage class, we will be spending some time to connect with your soul self. We will create mini playing card-size affirmation cards using a cut and paste collage technique (the same we used in kindergarten or summer camp craft time).
In this class, we’ll learn the basics of working with polymer clay, we'll use a pasta rolling machine to blend clays to change colors, create ombre and marbling effects and create multiple pairs of earrings or pendants. Your instructor is Chris Shirer.
In this introductory class, students will learn to use powdered glass (vitreous enamel), a piece of copper, and a kiln to make beautiful, one of a kind creations. Each student will be given a 2 x 2-inch copper square as a pallet for their design, using paper towel pieces to make a template that is unique to their vision. Suitable for adults 18+.
Learn the basics of working with chalk pastels and pastel pencils as we create a landscape in the Romantic style. Students will have their choice of working on wood panel or Pastebord paper. We'll practice first on smaller pieces so various methods and color applications can be tried.
In this fun cut and paste collage project, we will be thinking about what we would like to see in our lives in the near future - A future of joy, promise and wild abandon, no matter where we are at right now. This project will be similar to the collage boards made during summer camp and for school projects - only this time it will be the wishes and dreams you want to see in your life. Everyone's project will look different from the sample.
Students will choose a Sterling spoon or fork from the instructor's collection and decide to make a ring, earrings OR pendant during this 3 hour class. This class is suitable for those 13 years and up.
Learn and have fun with this basic, step-by-step acrylic painting class with Bobbi McKinnon. This is an intermediate class but could be suitable for those over 10 who have done some painting. You'll create your Gnome at the Campfire on a 16x20-inch canvas. All materials included.
