Announcements

We are basking in summer a little longer at Art House 7! We recently added 2 camps to our summer schedule: Paper-making and Printmaking for ages 13-18 years, Aug. 5-9, 9-11 am. We’ve added another week to our schedule to include Clay Creations for 6-9 years, Aug. 12-16, 10am-12pm. Kids will enjoy clay sculpting and pottery making, using pinch, coil, and slab construction techniques. And they’ll bring home some terrific pieces.

We also have some open spots in other upcoming weekly camps. Our camps are not a big commitment — most are 2 or 3 hours (morning, midday, or noon). In addition to clay and paper-making, we have jewelry; painting and sculpting faces; arts & crafts; painting inspired by American artists, and more. We have many return campers, who love the individual attention and inspired teachers.
