A wide range of supplies and mediums may be used, including paint, clay, beads, fabric, and more. Projects vary from one day to the next, even when a technique repeats.

The deposit is nonrefundable and not transferable, including to other dates. For summer camps there are no refunds or transfers for cancellations or no shows for any reason. If weather causes a cancellation, credit will be applied to a future workshop, club, or camp. Parents will be contacted about ongoing behavior concerns, and after attempts to redirect, a camper with persistent issues may be dismissed without a refund. While participation is encouraged, project completion is not guaranteed. What to bring: a 9 x 12 inch sketchbook, available at the studio for $3.50 plus tax or bring your own, and a closable water bottle that is not a twist top. Label all items.
