July 8 @ 9:30 am - 3:30 pm
Tuesday-Thursday, July 8-10, 9:30 a.m.-3:30 p.m.
Let’s dig into recycling and discover the artistic potential of discarded cardboard, egg crates, paper, and plastic containers. Students will explore, design, and construct imaginative critters inspired by the woods, ocean, and beyond. This hands-on workshop is perfect for young artists with abundant energy and imagination.
Students will explore:
- How materials can ignite ideas
- How to transform sketches into sculptures
- Adhesive techniques
- Painting practices focused on texture and color relationships
Scholarships are available for families with a financial need. To request an application, please email Erika Huber at ehuber@mainegardens.org.
