Children may be dropped off if I know them and have an emergency number. Otherwise caregivers are invited to stay and play!

Adult Workshops!
I have had a number of requests/ expression of interest in a workshop for adults that would happen on an evening or a weekend.

Currently there is a collage workshop in the works for sometime during the winter session. This would be one or 2 sessions and include a few exercises and lots of freeplay! More info to come.

Let me know if you are interested (for this winter or for the future) and we’ll figure out a date that works for most. This will mean being part of a short lived email frenzy with the small group interested. (THE hardest thing to do!)

Looking forward to art making in 2024!!

Hello to All-

Head of the Meadow Beach, Truro 2023

I hope your summer is what you want it to be!
It’s been great to see many of you this summer at Art Camp. We are in our third week! Many of us are still dreaming of the beach or are still AT the beach but alas we have to plan the Fall! (Fall is great too!)

Fall Offerings:

My classes this year will be on Tuesday and Wednesday at 3:30-5pm starting the first week in October and running to the end of November (note: no class on Hallowe’en or the day before Thanksgiving) 

Both classes are mixed age, family grouping, for children age 5-11. Projects are designed to allow for different age/stage children to take a direction that makes sense to them.

I am offering some Open Studios and a workshop in December.

Print/Paint/Make
For students Grade 4 and up. Adult participants are welcome!
Maximum 8 students

This is a 2 class workshop.
The first day involves experimenting with a variety of paint and ink, combining layers, making a bit of a mess. We’ll make watercolor washes on paper, ‘blocks' for printing with styrofoam and a series of prints. By the end of the class we will have the raw materials, colored papers and prints that we can then make in to a set of cards, collage or simple books.
The second day we go more slowly and carefully with the dry paper, cutting and measuring to make the finished products we want.

Fee: $50 for the 2 sessions

To Register: Send me an email with your child’s full name and class preference. I will send you registration paperwork. Returning families please bring contact information to the first class. New families please send contact information to 115 Robbins Rd Arlington, Ma 02476

Summer Art Camp 2023

Artcamp 2023

What: 

Summer Art Camp is a morning program for 5-11yr olds. Art projects are linked to games, stories, playful physical challenges and experimentation with elements like water, sand, clay, bubbles, earth and air. We do individual and collaborative work with a variety of 2D and 3D materials. The work is inspired by nature, fine artists, the materials themselves, and each other. It’s summer and the aim is to get wet, dirty and immersed in the elements! 

When: 9am -12noon

Week 1  June 26- June 29 (Monday to Thursday only)

Week 2   July 17- July 21

Week 3   August 7- August 1

Week 4  August 14- August 18

Where:

115 Robbins Rd, Arlington 

Camp will be held at the studio down the driveway to the right of the house. Door is on the left. We will work and play in the studio, backyard and at Robbins Farm Park

Approximate Schedule:

9:00 Gathering activity outside 

9:15 Meeting and Art Project, free play

10:30 Bathroom and snack

11:00 

Walk to the Park, Games (this timing is subject to weather, how much everybody needs an open space to run and the whim of all the artists involved)

Early Pickup: Let me know if you need to pick up your child early. You can come to the park if we are there.

How to contact us during camp:

What to bring

Bring:

 -water bottle

Wear:

- hat

-shoes to run in(no flip flops please) 

-clothes that can get dirt, paint, glue and more on them(I have smocks)

-sunscreen (please apply at home)

It is also helpful if you eat breakfast and do a bathroom visit before you come to camp! (full stomach, empty bladder)

Assistants:

I will have an assistant with me from 9-12 each day. They will help

me with materials, bathroom runs, cleanup and the couple of trips to the park. 

The Art

Visit my blog for pictures of past projects and summer camp archives. It will give you an idea of the materials I use regularly and the kinds of activities we do at camp. During Summer Camp we will do more with the outdoors and nature for inspiration. Each week will have a loose theme to tie the activities together. Some of the projects will produce products that we can play with outside. Some projects will be collaborative and others will simply be art to look at. There will be free time to experiment with materials.

The media will be a mixture of 2D and 3D. 

I’ll let you know the themes later! (Not only do I need time to get it altogether, I also think that a theme does not tell a child what camp’s going to be like)
