SUMMER ART CAMP 2024
Along with being able to walk in and paint your own pottery or canvas, Fat Cat also offers weekly camps for your child!
Every single week we will be: sculpting with clay, throwing pottery on a wheel, art journaling, kiln firing glass, painting with watercolours and acrylics, drawing with graphite, ink, charcoal, chalk and oil pastels to create amazing pieces. All but the wheel thrown items will be ready to display in your home at the end of the week.
A public art show showcasing the camper's finished work that week will be held each Friday at 4:00 pm. Invite family and friends to attend! Bring a box because after the art show is over, every child takes home all their beautiful projects AND their own art journal to continue their art journey at home!
Every Medium, Every Week is our motto.
