Camp Description

This engaging in-person week-long camp is for the curious and playful sustainable artist. We will experiment with the art of Suminagashi, marbling on paper and fabric. The Japanese ancient tradition brings an element of surprise that is bound to put a smile on everyone's face. We will use the marbled paper to create sketchbooks and more. Ice dyeing is a relatively new craze and textile process, similar to tie dye, that any kid or adult will enjoy! We will use traditional ink and natural dyes in all processes, making both wearable art and art to hang in the home.

This week-long course will build skills and confidence in sustainable living, taking action, and making conscious choices as an artist. Daily collaborative art projects will build community within camp. Along with art making, children will partake in mindfulness movement play including yoga and games. Each day we will close camp reflecting on the learning of the day and playing together. At the end of the week, the kids will display their artwork in an art show open to family and friends, Friday June 13th 2:30-3pm.
