Spring and Summer 2024
  • JEWELRY, METALS AND MORE! - KIDS SUMMER CAMP (Ages 8 and up)
  • Sign your child up for our week-long journey into art and we promise you won’t hear “I’m bored” even once! There will be a new project each day- from jewelry, metal-stamped backpack charms, collages, photo frames and suncatchers to mobiles, mosaic lanterns, resin trinket holders more! A nut-free snack and drink will be provided each day. Camp size is limited to 12 children to allow for individual attention. Minimum of 3 students is required to run the camp.
  • FLAMEWORKING/GLASS BEADMAKING – TEEN SUMMER CAMP (Ages 12 and up)
  • Is your teen looking for something unique and different to do this summer? How about sending them to the “hottest” camp around? During this exciting hands-on camp, students will learn the fundamentals of flameworking, or glass beadmaking, using a gas and oxygen-fueled torch and glass rods. The kids will make a dozen or more glass beads each day. On the last day, they’ll learn how to turn their beads into finished jewelry and will leave with several pendants, bracelets, keychains and more. Students who have attended our glass camps before will have an opportunity to advance their skills through new techniques and supplies. A nut-free snack and drink will be provided.
  • Camp size is limited to 5 children to allow for individual attention. Minimum of 3 students is required to run the camp. Please note – minimum age for this camp is 12. All students are required to complete a liability waiver prior to the beginning of class and students should wear long pants and closed toe shoes. Long hair must be pulled back.
