Summer Creative Camps at Sacred Spark Studios!

I’m so excited about the upcoming Summer Creative Camps (Magical Creatures and Magical Treasures)  at my studio! This series of creative camps are for ages 7-12 and they were dreamed up because they combine 3 of my favorite things – stories, writing and art!

As a child, I was an avid reader of all kinds of books – I loved reading and my favorite kinds usually had an element of mystery or magic in them. Dragons, wizards, enchanted woods, talking animals and powerful, magical treasures and magical spells. Then I would spend just as much time drawing and telling my own stories with and through art.

As an artist and writer, my vision is to design creative classes and art camps that I know would encourage a child to explore both disciplines in a fun and creative environment. More than just a combination of art projects, techniques and writing prompts, I wanted to inspire children to tell their own stories and find ways to expand and explore their worlds on the page and through art. When children see how theirs ideas are translated into something tangible, it will empower them and give them a sense of their own abilities and gifts. In the process of exploring and bringing their ideas to life, they are  developing real life skills in conceptual thinking, the creative process, story crafting and art making.

I’ve been prepping the content and materials for the workshops for the past few months but the inklings of these workshops and camps had their beginnings in a childhood filled with books and art. I am having so much fun putting it all together and will be giving updates on the prep process in the weeks to come. To sign your child up for the Magical Creatures and Treasures Creative Camps, please go here.

These journals are a dream! Great paper quality and thick enough for mixed media work and writing. Looking forward to presenting each child with one so that they can personalize it and make it their own!

Prepping some of the materials for camp! More to come!
