Clay, Draw and Sculpture Camp

Monday through Friday, 9am-3pm.

Instructors: Madalyn Olson & Lee Williams

This unique week-long camp has the day divided with two teaching artists bringing their own special art mediums to our campers.

The first half of the day starts off with multi-media artist Madalyn Olson in the VAE Clay Studio exploring the world of hand-building. You’ll create one-of-a-kind clay creations from bowls and cups to animals and birds. Campers at any skill level will be able to improve their techniques in building and glazing while creating functional and non-functional ceramic pieces.

After lunch, the second half of the day takes you outside to the Art Shed with sculptor Lee Williams. You’ll work on drawings that lead to building sculptures and look examples of his work and others as inspiration and to look further at how sculptures are put together. Available materials for building your own sculptures include natural materials from our environment like vine, wood, and recycled objects. A variety of power and hand tools will be used and shown how to properly use them.

A mini exhibition will be held at the end of the week, showing off the week’s creations! Bring water bottle, bag lunch, snack and your imagination!
