Learn about picture book layout, pacing, character design, sketching thumbnail and composition to illustrate a full colored finished piece. Our storyboarding will encourage us to explore humor, wonder, depths of emotion, and the fantastical through our illustrations. The last day will be spent collaborating on a story for an artistic puppet show!

Handbuilding in Clay

Whimsical Clay Creations
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!
