Fab Lab Summer Camp: Airbrush Art & Design

Unleash your creativity this summer with our Airbrush Art & Design Camp at the Fab Lab! This hands-on program introduces campers to the exciting world of airbrush painting—where technology, art, and imagination come together.

Throughout the week, students will learn how to safely use professional airbrush tools while exploring techniques for shading, blending, stenciling, masking, and creating bold color effects. Campers will design and paint their own custom artwork on items such as T-shirts, canvas panels, tote bags, and more.

With guidance from our Fab Lab instructors, participants will experiment with different styles—from graffiti-inspired graphics to soft-blended illustrations—building confidence in both artistic expression and tool handling.

By the end of camp, every student will take home a collection of personalized airbrushed creations and the skills to continue exploring airbrush art on their own.

Skills & Activities Include:

• Intro to airbrush equipment & safety
• Color theory and blending techniques
• Stencil cutting and masking methods
• Designing custom apparel and accessories
• Creating layered, multi-color airbrush artwork
• Final showcase of student work

Perfect for young artists ready to explore a high-energy medium and bring their ideas to life in vibrant color!
