  • Printmaking, Bookmaking, and Creative Writing with Laken Bridges: June 13 - June 17, 10AM - 4PM

    Explore a variety of printmaking processes such as screen printing, relief, and monotype. During this camp you will work independently and collaboratively, learning how to prepare printing surfaces, mix ink, layer color, and create unique imagery, patterns, and textures through the printmaking process. Each day you will be guided through a creative writing prompt to help generate ideas for your unique imagery. Once you accumulate prints, you will learn the steps to constructing your own hand-made hardcover book, which will house your visual and written art.

  • Ceramics: June 20 - June 24, 10AM - 4PM

    Southwest Virginia has a rich history of ceramics arts. In this camp, you’ll bring past to present, working with clay to create your own unique vessels. Explore hand-building, wheel throwing, texture-making, underglazing, and more! Please note: creations must dry fully, be bisque fired, and then glaze fired in the kiln before you can take home work. The firing process will occur after the camp ends. Campers should plan to pick up finished fired work a few weeks after this camp.

  • Stop Motion with Laken Bridges: June 27 - July 1, 10AM - 4PM

    Create your own stop motion animation start to finish! In this camp you will learn about the history of stop motion, watch stop motion examples, storyboard your ideas, collaborate with your fellow campers to brainstorm and problem solve, create articulated paper characters, build cardboard set scenes, work with clay and inanimate objects, photograph the scenes, and learn how to edit the still images to create a unique animation. Campers will need access to Cloud storage or have a USB with plenty of storage. Digital cameras are provided!

  • Anime and Manga Foundations with Allison Parker: July 11 - July 15, 10AM - 4PM

    Learn the basic foundations that successful Manga and anime artists learned in order to develop a signature style. The week begins with a brief history of manga and anime-style art originating from Japan. With the objective of developing a unique style, each camper will learn the foundations of becoming an anime-style artist. Campers will practice drawing the figure and anatomy, scenery sketching, color design, lighting for mood, and concept brainstorming strategies. Collaboration and teamwork will be encouraged through fun drawing games and acting out scenes for figure drawing reference. Campers are encouraged to bring costumes, props, action figures, and other objects to draw from!
