Summer Camps - Art Activities after school

Doll Camps for girls 7-13
Summer Doll Camp is a week long camp for girls 7-13 and their American Girl ® dolls. Many hand skills are taught such as sewing by hand and machine. Girls learn to make things for their dolls, such as doll clothes, realistic miniature doll foods out of Sculpey ® clay, doll accessories (handbag, doll wreath, shoes, bedding), and simple doll furniture. Helga Motley is holding this popular camp for the 12th summer, for 7 different weeks. Class size is kept small, to 6 kids, so reserve space early. All skill levels are welcome, so girls ranging from from the inexperienced to the advanced are welcome.

Miniature Worlds Camps for boys and girls 5-10
Class size is limited to 6, so register early.
Kids use their own imagination, and the materials and skills the teacher provides to make small worlds to play with. At first, as a group, we make a diorama scene out of colorful plasticene clay. Then each child builds houses out of cardboard and foam core, paints them, and constructs furniture.We make moveable, jointed people and animals out of sculpey clay. Then we add mountains, caves and trees made from papermache, leather and other materials. Kids at all levels of skills and experience are welcome.This class is held during afternoons only. If a child gets tired of making things, there is a vast playmobil miniature world set up for a relaxing play break.

Lego & Clay Camps
for boys and girls 5-12
Class size is limited, so register early.
Kids will use legos, plasticene clay and other materials to build a tabletop story scene together. This is a group-collaborative project and the goal is to make a simple clay animation story. Story ideas will come from the kids. They will be working with legos, colorful plasticene clay and other materials to create characters, landscapes, buildings for the story. They will be working in the large studio of the experienced photographer/ clay artist, Helga Motley. All photography will be done digitally by Helga and an animation expert will transform the images into a short movie. After class is over, each kid will be sent a DVD of the claymation movie they made together.

Open Play & Crafts Camp Week
for boys and girls 5-12
Class size is limited, so register early.
At the beginning and at the end of the summer, I'm holding a week long variety of activities. It will have available the playmobil miniature worlds, rich selection of legos to build with, plasticene clay to construct with, and the sculpey polymer clay (which can be made into hard and permanent small sculptures). The purpose of these 2 weeks is to allow kids to sample the activities at the beginning of the summer, and to wind down at the end of the summer.
Drop ins for at least 2 hours are welcome during these weeks.
Kids can attend for an afternoon, for 2 hours, or for the whole week.
