Our morning Welcome to Hogwarts Camp is already full, and just a few spots remain for Harry Potter fans in the afternoon camp! From 1-3pm June 14-18, participants ages 9-11 will experience the life of a Hogwart students! We will take a magical journey into the world of wizards as we design and make magic potions, play Quidditch and participate in activities that will astound all Muggles.
Plan, assemble and create your own box fort. Then, get ready to battle! Use your creative thinking and engineering skills in this hands-on camp.
Use your creative skills and woodshop materials to assemble whatever you can think up! Learn to use materials safely, problem-solve and think “outside the box.” This workshop is open-house style; you can come anytime within the 2-hour period. THANK YOU TO OUR SPONSOR
Use hand-built and coiling methods to create a piece of art that looks good enough to eat! For all one-day clay workshops, projects will not be painted in class. Your artwork will be given a coat of clear glaze and fired in Woodlawn’s kiln after the workshop has ended, and you will receive an email when it is ready for pickup. Images are representations of the projects to be made and may not be the exact project created in class. Clay workshops are meant for beginner learning experiences, and projects do not always turn out as expected.
Use both hand-built and wheel methods as an introduction/review to ceramics and technique.
Build fundamental drawing skills by learning the basics: shading, controlling tones, composition and drawing methods, as well as how to capture your vision on paper.
Hang out in a recording studio and learn to record music with musicians. You don’t need to be a musician, but if you are, you can record your own song! If you prefer to be “behind the boards,” you will be recording and mixing what could be the next hit song.
Learn the basics of animation using software. Create a short story and either draw or use already-drawn characters to create a short, fun animated video.
Learn the basics of drawing with a computer and professional drawing tablet. Even if you are a novice with your drawing skills, we start from the basics and move on to drawing either a comic book character or a scene of your choice.
Ever wanted to make a poster or T-shirt design? Create and print a poster you design or create a T-shirt design, print it out and use a Cricut to hot press it onto a shirt!
