Whimsical Clay Creations

by

In this teen clay camp imagine and engineer sculptural machines using hand-building techniques such as coil and slab building. These whimsical contraptions, reminiscent of Rube Goldberg designs, can serve various purposes: they can perform tasks, enhance decor, or contribute to personal rituals. For example, you might create a clay machine that clears negative thoughts or perhaps a decorative piece that doubles as a candle holder. In this class, the possibilities are endless as we make our clay sculptures interactive! 

All work will be fired and ready for pick up at the Kimball Art Center 14 days after your class. We do not ship class work.

Sculpting a Hand Workshop

Please bring photo references if you do not wish to reference your own hands. All work will be fired and ready for pick up 7-14 days after your class. We do not ship class work. If artwork is not picked up after 60 days it will be recycled. 

3D Art

by

A great class to learn about a variety of 3D materials. Young artists will start with a hand-built project in clay for the first day of this camp. In the following days, students will complete the clay forms and learn about 3D design by participating in a range of guided hands-on making activities. Small projects will include some traditional materials for design classes such as wire, cardboard and papier-mâché, and more.
