Week Overview / Camp Description
Young artists will become sculptors as they dream, design, build, and paint their own three-dimensional clay creations! Campers will begin by sketching imaginative ideas on paper, learning how artists plan before they create. Using air-dry clay, they will explore handbuilding techniques such as pinching, coiling, shaping, joining, and texturing to transform drawings into full 3D sculptures. After drying, artists will bring their pieces to life with colorful paint and decorative details. From whimsical creatures to tiny castles, tiny homes, and fantasy inventions, this camp encourages creativity, engineering, and artistic confidence.
