Gelli Prints & Animal Chimes with Horst Arts!
Monday kids camp at Horst Arts Center involve a number of creative and educational activities that build upon each other. Students start with gelli printing, creating a library of pieces that will be used in various ways; from combining with recycled paper for wearable art and decoupaged items, moving then to a brand new junk journal. This journal will be filled with other guided activities such as shadow drawing, origami pocket creating, object collection, and sketching. Wednesdays will be held at ClayHouse Arts where the kids will learn to create a chime of their favorite animal with clay. They will form and carve an animal, then come up with a charm related to their animal (what they eat, or where they live). The following session will involve glazing their animal chime and creating a beaded hanger from which to hang.
