SUMMER CRAFT CAMPS 2018 at HCCC

This summer, Houston Center for Contemporary Craft presents four, week-long craft camps for kids, ages 5-8 and 9-12.

Craft Camp is designed to encourage creativity, experimentation, and self-expression, while introducing kids to a variety of craft materials and processes. Campers will practice critical thinking skills through conversations with teaching artists and learning how to look at and talk about works of art. Through individual and group projects in the galleries and Craft Garden, kids will work with materials such as clay, fiber, and metal.

Campers will begin the week by making their own sketchbooks and exploring the resident artists’ studios.  Each day includes time in the galleries, an hour lunch break, and hands-on studio projects, including printing on fabric, weaving, and making clay figurines. The week culminates in a mini-exhibition opening, where friends and family can view the kids’ completed works of art!

Four sessions are offered:

Session 1, Ages 5 – 8  //  Monday, June 11th – Friday, June 15th (9am – 2pm)

Session 2, Ages 9 – 12  //  Monday, June 25th – Friday, June 29th  (9am – 2pm)

Session 4, Ages 9 – 12  //  Monday, July 23rd – Friday, July 27th  (9am – 2pm)
