🎮 Defeat All Bosses! Art Camp 🎮
Defeat All Bosses! Art Camp is a 3-day afternoon art adventure for kids ages 6–12, packed with hands-on projects inspired by the video games they love. No experience needed — just imagination and a love of making things.
Three days. Six projects. Ultimate boss energy.
🖼️ Day 1 — Pixel Perfect Canvas
Design your own 8-bit character, scene, or creature on canvas using acrylic paint and a grid approach. Think Minecraft landscapes, Pokémon sprites, retro arcade characters — or invent your own! Every canvas is totally unique and goes home with you at the end of the day.
⛏️ Day 2 — Build It in Clay
Minecraft fans, this one’s for you! Kids will hand-build their favorite game-inspired creations in studio clay — creepers, treasure chests, swords, animals, and more. Pieces will be kiln-fired and glazed at HOTplate, ready for pickup in approximately 2–2.5 weeks.
🧪 Day 3 — Potion Workshop
Every great game has potions, power-ups, and legendary loot! Kids will hand-build and paint their own air-dry clay potion bottle or treasure piece — finished and ready to take home same day.

∙ 📅 Tuesday–Thursday, June 23–25
∙ ⏰ 1:00–4:00pm daily
