weekly themes

We’re running two themed weeks of programming that alternate throughout the season.

WEEK A INSPIRED BY:

Ruth Asawa

Line, wire, and folded forms. Think looping line drawings, wire-inspired sculpture, and folded paper forms, inspired by a Bay Area legend.

WEEK B INSPIRED BY:

Henri Matisse

Cut paper, color, and shape. We’re imagining bold cut-paper collage, painting with pure color, and playful organic shapes.

✏️ Note : our themes are not formal “artist studies”—we’ll be using each artist’s vibe to guide our work in painting, printmaking, collage, fiber, sculpture!

Camp Groups

Junior Artists

Age 5-7
process oriented + confidence-building

Our junior group is for younger campers who thrive with gentle structure, warm encouragement, and hands-on guidance. Projects are process-first and playful, with lots of choice—plus incredible materials kids feel excited to use.

Studio Artists

Age 8-10
creative exploration + skill-building

Studio Artists will focus on more complex projects, longer work time, and a deeper dive into real skill building—while still keeping things light, fun, and creative.
