Creating with Clay
Learn all about clay and its sculpting properties in a workshop filled with fun! Participants practice basic techniques as they create coil pots and freeform sculptures, paint ceramic tiles and make their own handmade clay to take home!

Printmaking
Release your inner artist with a variety of printmaking techniques, including crayon rubbings, relief printing, stamping, Goyataka prints, linoleum block printing and ‘junk’ printing using an array of diverse materials.

Weather Watch
Explore the exciting science concepts of weather by recreating naturally occurring events, such as rock formation, erosion, evaporation, eclipses and cloud formations. Participants learn about the long lasting effects of weather on our planet.

Lights! Camera! Action!
Easy drama activities designed to help participants become accustomed to performing in front of groups delight participants of all ages. Learn warm-up activities and vocal exercises, write scripts, rehearse short plays, design costumes, perform on stage and explore creative expression through drama and play!

Puppets and Plays
Puppets are a great vehicle for creative expression! Participants learn about different styles of puppetmaking from around the world! In small groups, they write scripts for a play, create puppets, design props, rehearse, and perform their puppet show for an audience!
