Young Makers! Turn your fave book into a power pop-up Diorama Story Box. Let’s explore visual story making and transform each of our favourite storybooks from home into sculptural Kid-Lit ART!
Please bring your favourite storybook from home, with your child’s name. We will be reading these stories and using them as inspiration for our art-making! Books will be returned home at the end of the week.
Our Summer Camps are designed to inspire 36 young artists each week! Led by ECFTA Arts Educators and 7 summer student staff, camp will take place in our cheery Art Classroom and sunny Sparrow’s Nest Maker Space.
Camps are a balance of guided-art instruction and open-flow exploration, along with outdoor fresh air play as always!
