Summer 2026 · Ages 5–16
A summer spent making things.
Ten weeks of themed art camps at our Fremont studio. Small groups, working teaching artists, two projects a day, and a Friday show every week. Half-day and full-day options for every camp.
What to expect
A studio, not day care.
Every camp is built around two projects a day, taught by practicing artists. We keep cohorts small so every kid gets real attention.
Two projects / day
Real making
Campers complete two distinct art or craft projects every day. Ten finished pieces go home by Friday.
Working artists
Taught by makers
Every camp is led by practicing illustrators, ceramicists, and painters — not just hobbyists who like kids.
All materials
Everything included
Paint, clay, paper, canvas, aprons, and a take-home portfolio. Just pack a snack and a water bottle.
Open-ended
Creative thinking
We give kids open questions instead of worksheets — projects that grow with their ideas, not assembly lines.
Friday show
A real exhibition
Every camp ends with a Friday afternoon gallery show. Real walls, real frames, parents, juice boxes.
