In this camp, we will practice thinking outside of the box by turning recycled materials into art. Each project will start with a limited number of supplies from the recycling center, and a prompt. For example, students could be given lightbulbs, wire, and duct tape, and asked to create “movement”. The artists will be challenged to see objects for their shapes rather than their functions. They will strengthen their creative brain by defining a single-word concept with simple, raw materials. Seeing the world for its possibilities is a problem-solving skill that is valuable in all aspects of life.This camp is for 10-14 yr olds.

Storytelling in Clay: Character Creations
Unleash your creativity in Storytelling in Clay: Character Creations! In this camp, you’ll learn how to sculpt dynamic characters out of clay, whether they’re mythical creatures, superheroes, or something entirely from your imagination. You’ll explore the art of character design while creating unique, detailed figures that tell their own stories. Perfect for young artists and storytellers ready to bring their characters to life with clay!
Note on firing: All work will be fired and ready for pick up in the Kimball Art Center 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. *Since artwork may look different after firing, make your pottery or sculpture recognizable by carving a signature into your piece.
On the last day of camp, please join us for an art show to photograph work before it gets fired !
