Class Description

Mixed Media Makers week encourages students to explore creativity by combining different materials, textures, and artistic techniques. Throughout the week, campers will experiment with fiber art, beading, and nature-inspired materials while learning how artists combine elements to create unique and expressive pieces.

Students will begin by exploring foundational techniques such as simple macramé knots and basic beading methods. As the week progresses, they will incorporate additional materials such as fabric, paper, wood, and natural elements to expand their projects.

Inspired by the nearby Chapungu Sculpture Park, students may gather natural materials such as leaves, sticks, and other found objects to incorporate into their artwork. These materials allow students to explore texture and organic design while learning how artists use natural elements in their creative work.

**Camp Guidelines**

To help ensure a positive experience for all students, we ask families to review the following camp guidelines before the first day of camp.

What to Wear

Campers should wear comfortable clothing that can get messy. Many of our projects involve paint, clay, and other art materials that may stain clothing. Closed-toe shoes are recommended for safety in the studio.

What to Bring

Students should bring a water bottle each day. All art materials and tools for the projects are provided by the studio.

Studio Safety

Artisan Kids Art Camp takes place in a working art studio. Students will be guided in safe studio practices including proper tool use, respectful handling of materials, and keeping workspaces organized.

All projects are designed with age-appropriate tools and instructor supervision to ensure a safe and supportive learning environment.

Drop-Off and Pick-Up

Parents or approved guardians must sign students in and out each day. Students will only be released to individuals listed on the registration form with a photo id.

Please plan to arrive promptly at the end of camp so instructors can prepare the studio for the next activities.
