Beautiful Tee Shirt Designs with guest artist Sandra Charles
Young artists with their matted Gelli Prints
The last day of Art Camp for this summer had us working with Gelli printing. Guest artist Sandra Charles came to show us what printing and stamping is all about. We made stamps from sponges; we cut stamps from rubber; and we used Gelli plates to print wall art, cards and even some tee-shirts.
What a fun day. Thanks Sandra for taking time to teach us.

In our Arts and Crafts Camp yesterday we worked with wire and beads and made a “Tree of Life”. The kids did a great job beading their trees. Fantastic!

Sketching in front of The Studio

Decoupage Frames
Day 2 of Arts and Crafts Camp had the campers sketching and decoupaging. With sketchbooks in hand they sketched several things inside The Studio and then went out front and sat on the steps sketching things they could see from there. They did great! Take a look at what Samantha (an art camper for several years) did in just a short time. It’s the church at the corner of Main and Royal. Wonderful.
And all the kids did terrific work choosing papers to Mod Podge a picture frame. They look great! Good work everyone.

This week’s Art Camp features local scenes. Yesterday we painted a scene of the Shenandoah River and Mountains. It is the view as you come across the North Fork Bridge coming into town.
The kids did a wonderful job.
