Week 4 | July | Ultimate Art Camp: PCA&D and PA Guild of Craftsmen: Grades 6-8

Does your child in 6-8 grade have a passion for creativity and creation? Let us nurture their curiosity and abilities in an intensive and supportive week-long camp exploring the fine arts, design, and master crafts. At PCA&D’s Center for Creative Exploration and Pennsylvania Guild of Craftsmen Ultimate Art Camp, your child will learn the significance of thinking like an artist with lessons that will inform and enhance their personal and skill development.

Students will start the day at Pennsylvania College of Art & Design learning a variety of art-making techniques, such as drawing, printmaking, and more before breaking for lunch. Then campers will be escorted to the Pennsylvania Guild of Craftsmen for an afternoon of fine craft and will explore work in areas such as mosaics, flameworking, resin, bead weaving, woodworking, and more! Parents will pick up students at the Pennsylvania Guild of Craftsmen located just a little over two blocks away from Pennsylvania College of Art & Design. On the final day of camp, PCA&D will host all of the work created in an exhibition at their location from 4:15 – 5 pm, July 24.

This program is open to all skill levels and provides an atmosphere for self-discovery, camaraderie, and small-group learning. All supplies are included in the cost of the camp.

• Start at PCA&D 10 am – 12:30 pm
