An introduction to the beauty and artistry of weaving! You’ll start camp by designing a self–portrait to follow as you weave. Then, you’ll build a personal cardboard loom and learn to warp it. Finally, you’ll use your self– portrait as a pattern to practice basic weaving and turn your design into a wonderful, woven portrait of You in Yarn.

Be creative, together with your child this summer! Learn about clay and how to throw on the potter’s wheel side by side in the ceramic studio. Create cups and bowls, and experiment with different techniques for adding finishing touches to your work. All work is fired with food–safe glazes. Look for an email from the Phipps when the pottery is ready for pick up, approximately two weeks after camp. Closed–toed shoes must be worn in the ceramics studio.
