We believe that children learn best through the process of discovery and exploration!

The active learning, or “hands-on” approach, is developmentally appropriate for all children regardless of their age.

Each camp will consist of hours of fun art discovery mixed with outdoor activities and lunch. 

Children will have the opportunity to discover an array of mediums ( see below) that they normally would not have access to in a school environment. 

Eache day, the young artists will experience 2 new mediums, eat, play and exercices.

Our instructors and volunteers are dedicated to make each camp, a memorable time for the children!

Children are expected to  bring a packed lunch and drinks as it is important that they remain hydrated throughout the camps.

Glass Blowing "Sucki Bowl" with Allison Bloom and Oliver Ray

2 days for your convenience

You must sign up and pay for this class to reserve your space. We will teach students in the order they come to us.

Friday August 12 starting at 1m to 6pm (Last guest workshop will be at 5.30 pm)

Saturday August 13 starting at 10 am to 3 pm (Last workshop will be at 2.30 pm)

Sometimes, in glass blowing you have to suck in rather then blow. sucki Bowls are an example of of this.

To make a Sucki Bowl, you will blow a glass bubble to then suck it in to make a recess bowl.

Observing glass transformation from solid to molten to a beautifully shaped vessel with swirls, and brilliant colors is fascinating to say the least. Now you have an opportunity to learn more about glass blowing and try it yourself. 

Each student will start their experience by learning basic hot shop safety, followed by a discussion of the colors and basic shape they hope to achieve in their glass piece.

Just walk in between the hours mentionned above. First come first served so you can watch what others are doing, find your inspiration, and create your own masterpiece!
