Explore the stars, planets, spaceships, astronauts and even aliens in this multimedia camp. Each day campers will work with a new media from paint to recycled art to create projects inspired by space adventures.
Friday
Magical Vessels in Clay
Take a look at historical ritual vessels and build a unique “Transmutation Station” using hand-building ceramic techniques like coil and slab building. These creations will be receptacles for student’s concerns and hopes, akin to a diary, but instead of preserving one’s thoughts, they will transform and release them. The goal of this class is to learn and develop ceramic hand-building skills, while making tools for personal support and use.
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.
