Join us this summer for a series of uniquely high-quality art camps at the serene, secluded, and sublimely storybook Artisan Acres Estate, whose architectural marvel and lush nature offer unparalleled inspiration to the young artist. Instruction is not fettered by the conventional studio paradigm—the Estate will provide not only the setting of and inspiration for our creations, but oftentimes even the media from which they are composed. For example, the young artist may harvest dahlias from the pre-industrial Dyer’s Garden to create a rich natural dye for their silk batiks, or snip leaves from the Winding Wooded Path to create crisp botanical prints with a professional heat press.
At the conclusion of the two sessions, we will come together for a Joint Gallery Reception in the Grand Little Barn, where family and friends are welcome to view our young artists’ creations as they enjoy refreshments on the beautiful property. This allows our students to not only engage with the creation phase of the artistic process, but with the curation, installation, and exposition aspects as well.
