July 26-30

9:00 am-4:00 pm

Grades 4th-12th

Whimsical Writing and Illustrated Bookmaking for Teens

Instructors: Kierstyn Krajca, LeAnn Hale and Staff

Let us help you link two creative worlds together for your student this summer! Half of the day will be spent in a writing workshop where students will go through the writing process to poems or short stories. Your writer will have creative license coupled with guidance from a local English teacher to create original written works of art.

Participants will create illustrations for their written works in the other half of the day with a professional artist/art educator.  Printmaking, watercolor, pen and ink and mixed media will be introduced and incorporated into the illustration process.  All of their creations will be compiled into a keepsake hand bound book.  We will end the week with a pop up book show where all of the handmade books by our young bibliophiles can be examined.  All of the books will be on display in the studio at 3:30 for friends and family to enjoy.

Please send a snack, drink and a lunch.
