DESCRIPTION

This camp begins with a deep dive into the wacky world of printmaking and 'zines. Following their individual passions the campers will create their own personal 'zine, a great way to explore self expression and speak about a topic they love. Printing on all of our presses the campers will become familiar with various ways of reproducing art through printing.

The second focus for this camp will be glass with it's bright colours and shiny reflective properties. Mosaics and stained glass projects will give your child a working knowledge of techniques of this spectacular art form. Expect brilliant results from this camp.

With singalongs, play breaks and kid friendly lunches, this will be a fun and creative experience for your child. Friday afternoon will feature a time for a parents/guardians showcase where your children can proudly display their work and introduce you to their tools and workspaces that they used all week.

LUNCH IS INCLUDED!

*You will be sent a field trip form to read, sign, and return before camp starts.

**Please write your child’s name, age, and any food allergies they may have in the comments when signing up for a ticket. AGES 8-13.
