What is a book? In this camp, we will learn how to answer that question, as well as where books came from and how they’ve evolved. Through hands-on exploration, campers will discover the many forms a book can take while learning foundational book arts techniques like sewing, folding, and gluing. The camp encourages creativity and experimentation, inviting students to think beyond traditional ideas of books and consider them as both functional objects and works of art. Along the way, campers will develop craftsmanship, attention to detail, and an appreciation for the history and possibilities of bookmaking, leaving with a deeper understanding of how stories and structures come together.

Think Picasso translates Van Gogh

This workshop is a space to slow down, have fun, and create by exploring mixed media—no pressure, no perfection, no art skill required. Each session offers simple creative prompts and guidance, while leaving plenty of room for personal style and play. As they create, students will be encouraged to try new things and to see “mistakes” as part of the process—building confidence, creativity, and a sense of growth along the way. Whether you already love art or feel unsure where to start, this is a welcoming space to explore and create, focusing on enjoying the process along the way. Feel free to join more than one session . . . the prompts will be different!
