About the Class:

We're bringing back our Arts Immersion Camp format for the Holidays! During these mini-camp sessions, young artists will learn to create ornaments, paper lanterns (with safe LED bulbs), shrinky-dink keychains and handmade journals. Each session will have one gift craft, a cozy kids art history reading and open studio time at stations to create envelopes, gift bags, hand printed wrapping paper and gift tags. Art games and art card decks will also be available, as will stretch breaks and studio clean up-care. Camps will be co-facilitated by Mer Haggerty and Audrey Smith. 

Campers should bring a snack, reusable water bottle and dress for mess. 

Please refrain from bringing electronic devices and phones, toys, personal items that can distract from the process of art-making.
