ALSO - SUMMER ART CAMPS!!
Village Potters resident potter and Village Potters Education Center Director, Melanie Mitchell Robertson, will be teaching all summer art camp classes.
Each camp is a 5-day, week long event:
Mornings, 9am - 12noon Monday - Friday
$140 (includes all materials)
Zoomorphic Creatures from Narnia to Middle Earth (teens 12 and up)
We will study favorite "critters" from the jungle, forest, and tundra and look at how authors CS Lewis and JRR Tolkien created fantastic creatures combining mythology and some of these real life animals. Then, we will design our own and bring them to "life" through the magic of ceramic sculpture!
Can You Play This? ( 6 - 11yr. olds)
Did you know that there are several instruments you can make out of clay? Oh yesssssssss! We will make a Jewish shofar that sounds much like a trumpet, whistle that looks like a favorite animal, and a kettle drum that can be played with your hands or sticks.....Creative noise played here!
Carousel Critters (6 - 11yr. olds)
Who doesn't like the magical ride of a merry-go-round? This class will look at all the wonderful "critters" that can be ridden on a merry-go-round, from horses to rabbits and an occasional
dragon! Each student will then design and hand-build their own fantastic clay "critter(s)" that will be a beautiful 3D sculpture.
How Green Can You Go? (teens 12 and up)
From junk mail to old letters and newspaper, we will recycle old papers into beautiful hand-made papers, stitch them together "Japanese style," design a sturdy, yet fabulous cover and, "voila'!"
make our own very cool journal!
Masking Our Global Culture (teens 12 and up)
Masks have always been a fascinating part of global culture, generally related to the hunt, rites of passage and the divine. We will explore each idea and create our own "multi-media" 3D mask using clay, wire, paint, various fibers, etc.
Copy Cat! (6 - 11yr. olds)
Have you ever been called a "copy cat?" Well, now you can really be proud of it! We will learn several kinds of simple, easy, yet way fun ways to make prints. Silkscreen prints, block prints, and linoleum are but a few. We'll even have time to put one of your designs on a T-shirt. Come on, let's all be really cooooooooool" copy cats!"
