Possible Projects for this Camp (depends on working speeds of students):

Plaster Animal - using pvc pipe, newspaper, masking tape, cardboard, plaster gauze and a special mixture of regular paper mache with joint compound and fiber filling, your child will complete a sitting, crouching or standing animal.  Your child will then have a special 2 hour individual session to spray paint and add details.  You will be astounded by what they create!

Kiln Fired Clay Project - using kiln low fire clay, your child will create and glaze a fun item.  They will be introduced to clay through templates and/or molds, learn how to adhere clay pieces and find out how the kiln firing process works.

Wood Project - using various pieces of wood, students will paint and assemble a project into a one-of-a-kind work of art.  Students will have the option to add a multitude of items.
