SUMMARY:Fun with Fiber: Stitching\, Felting and Weaving with Jenny Torino
DESCRIPTION:Monday – Friday\, July 27 – 31 \n10 am – 12 noon \nGrades 2 – 6 \n$135 per student \n  \nJoin us for Fun with Fiber where students will discover stitching\, felting and weaving while creating their own unique fiber works during the week’s art projects. \n\nSession 1: Scrappy Plush Monster Hand Sewing Project \nLearn hand sewing skills and design a custom monster plush with fabrics scraps of fun textures and colors. Learn how to thread a sewing needle\, straight stitch\, whip stitch and sew buttons. Leave with a cute plushie. \nSession 2:  Felt Pennants \nAre you a fan of a band\, sports team\, school or town and want to express your creativity? Make a triangular felt pennant to decorate your walls by creating lettering\, a color scheme and pictures. Then cut your design from flat felt sheets and put your pennant together. You will design lettering and pictures then learn how to lay it out and attach to your pennant. \nSession 3: Wet Felt and watercolor Geodes \nGeodes are rocks that are plain on the outside and contain beautiful crystals and colors on the inside. We are going to make Geodes out felt sheets wool through a process called wet felting. You will learn all about where wool comes from\, what you can make with it. Next create a large watercolor geode using torn paper\, ink and watercolor. \nSession 4 and 5: Woven Dream Catchers \nLearn how to weave in the round with colorful yarns. Add hanging strings\, beads and feathers to make it a dream catcher. \n  \n \nAbout Jenny Torino: \nI am an interdisciplinary artist that primarily uses fibers such as felting wool\, textiles and paper to create felt sculptures and interactive spaces. I focus on the living ecosystem and patterns in nature that often get overlooked. I allow myself to work slowly\, leading to hyperfocus on shape\, form and color. Focusing on these details becomes a meditation. \nMy felted sculpture highlights the connection between artist & material and art & the ecosystem. Familiarity and intimate connection with every stage of wool production is part of my process. My work also involves supporting and building community by using materials from small farms and sharing knowledge of the felting process with the public. \n  \nSummer Art Scholarship Form \nREFUND AND CANCELLATION POLICY \n

SUMMARY:Painted Papers and Printmaking with Jodi Doster
DESCRIPTION:Saturday 11:00 am – 3:00 pm \nSaturday July 18th \nAges 16+ \n$75 | $65 for members \nThis painted paper printmaking night introduces a range of techniques and materials\, including gelli plate printing\, and various textures and mediums in the printmaking processes. Participants will work with gelli plates to produce multi-layered\, colorful\, and textured monoprints. All materials and instructions will be laid out for participants to jump in and start making color full papers and prints.  We will apply essential methods such as paint application\, utilizing textural tools\, and creating images with stencils\, stamps\, and botanicals—all achievable without a large press set and ready to go. \nThe night will explore an array of printmaking papers and tools that can be incorporated into mixed media projects\, collage\, card making\, and art notebooks. \n  \nThere is no material list – class includes all materials. \n This class is suitable for people aged 16+ since we will be using sharp cutting tools. \n  \n \n \nMy name is Jodi Doster and I spent 21 years teaching science and art at Bristol Bay Borough Middle/High School in Naknek\, Alaska. I also was an Adjunct Professor for the University of Alaska Fairbanks BBC teaching biology and many art classes including watercolor\, drawing\, and ceramics. My teaching philosophy is a hands-on approach utilizing demonstration then working alongside students to create original pieces. I find working alongside students while discussing my process and thoughts helps students if they are stuck. I provide guidance to help students with learning new techniques and developing their own style. I am influenced by science and nature in my own artwork. I love color and have been inspired by the impressionism artists. I have been so inspired by them that I even named my dog Monet after one of my favorite impressionists! \nREFUND AND CANCELLATION POLICY \n

SUMMARY:Memory Wire Bracelet Workshop with Janet Baskerville
DESCRIPTION:Saturday\, July 11 \n11:00am – 1:00pm \n$50\, $45 Members (includes materials) \n  \nCome join Janet Baskerville and make a fun stackable memory wire bracelet for yourself or to give as a gift. This is a fun relaxed beginner class in which you will have access to colorful glass seed beads and charms to create these colorful\, stackable bracelets. \nNo special skills or tools required\, just come prepared to have some fun and learn a new skill. All supplies provided. \n  \nJanet Baskerville\, Artist Statement: My ethnic heritage and experiences are my greatest influences.  I enjoy working three dimensionally\, as it is an intuitive process.  Jewelry is my passion and I like the tactile nature of combining various methods of construction\, such as forging metal\, stamping and etching metal\, wire wrapping and weaving\, beading\, resin casting and the inclusion of relic-like found objects and artifacts. I enjoy mixed-media collage and use paint\, paper\, fabric\, fibers\, resin\, wood and clay in my work as well. I am fascinated with the results when a combination of these materials and methods comes together in a completed piece to evoke a one of a kind ethnic feeling that tells a story. \n  \nREFUND AND CANCELLATION POLICY

SUMMARY:Creative Art Journals with Margaret Grasso
DESCRIPTION:July 6 – 10th \n1 – 3 pm \nGrades 6 – 12 \nMixed Media Art Journaling is a personal adventure…. a way to express your feelings\, memories\, and ideas. Working “intuitively” (without any preconceived plan)\, we’ll start with a prompt to get us thinking… then we’ll draw\, doodle\, color\, collage\, or paint\, add a word or phrase\, layering\, stenciling\, stamping…. then onto another page\, another day. \nI will show you how you can make your own Art Journal with mixed media & watercolor paper\, sewing the folded papers together\, & adding a cover\, maybe some beads on the hanging strings. We can make some of our own painted papers to collage with also. Who knows… one of those pages may be an inspiration for a painting you’ll create ! \nI am an experienced K-12 art teacher of 28 years. I also substituted 12.5 years for art teachers K-12 in Pine Bush and Valley Central Schools\, plus 3 years teaching summer art classes at WRCA! Creating my own paintings and teaching art is a lifelong passion for me. I share this joy and knowledge with the students\, and they feel the creative energy with me! \n  \nSummer Art for Kids Scholarship Form \nREFUND AND CANCELLATION POLICY

SUMMARY:Create a Tree of Life Pendant with Janet Baskerville
DESCRIPTION:Saturday\, June 13th \n11:00 am – 1:00 pm \n$50\, $45 Members (includes materials) \n  \nThis is the class you have been waiting for! Come out\, enjoy a warm relaxed atmosphere and learn how to make your own wire wrapped ‘Tree of Life’ pendant with gemstones. No special skills required but a basic knowledge of wire wrapping would be helpful. \nAll tools and supplies provided. \n  \nTree of Life – One of many definitions: \nThe Tree of Life commonly represents the interconnectedness of everything in the universe. It symbolizes togetherness and serves as a reminder that you are never alone or isolated\, but rather that you are connected to the world. The roots of the Tree of Life dig deep and spread into the earth\, thereby accepting nourishment from Mother Earth\, and its branches reach up into the sky\, accepting energy from the sun and moon. \n  \n \nJanet Baskerville\, Artist Statement: My ethnic heritage and experiences are my greatest influences.  I enjoy working three dimensionally\, as it is an intuitive process.  Jewelry is my passion and I like the tactile nature of combining various methods of construction\, such as forging metal\, stamping and etching metal\, wire wrapping and weaving\, beading\, resin casting and the inclusion of relic-like found objects and artifacts. I enjoy mixed-media collage and use paint\, paper\, fabric\, fibers\, resin\, wood and clay in my work as well. I am fascinated with the results when a combination of these materials and methods comes together in a completed piece to evoke a one of a kind ethnic feeling that tells a story. \nREFUND AND CANCELLATION POLICY

SUMMARY:Expressive Painting with Margaret Grasso
DESCRIPTION:July 28 – August 1\, 2025 \n10am – 12pm \nGrades 6th – 12th \nMany people like to paint looser and more expressively\, like me! It’s hard to start making art and immediately want it to look photo realistic. If you would like to experiment with a more relaxed\, expressive style\, we can explore the many ways to do so! We will change our blush sizes\, explore new mediums\, and find new ways to apply paint. \nMaterials we’ll be using include watercolor\, water-based inks\, dip pens\, gouache\, markers\, acrylic paint\, paint pens\, metallic paint\, glitter paint\, and quality art papers! \nAll materials provided! \nI am an experienced K-12 art teacher of 28 years. I also substituted 12.5 years for art teachers K-12 in Pine Bush and Valley Central Schools\, plus 3 years teaching summer art classes at WRCA! Creating my own paintings and teaching art is a lifelong passion for me. I share this joy and knowledge with the students\, and they feel the creative energy with me! \n  \nSummer 2025 Welcome\, Check in & Procedures \nSummer 2025 Scholarship Form \nREFUND AND CANCELLATION POLICY
