Summer Program

Discover how collage became a powerful way to question, critique, and reimagine the world. Each week begins with a short art history spotlight exploring how visionary artists used this medium to define their movements and reshape modern art—from Cubism and Dada to Pop Art and contemporary practices. After a quick demonstration of hands-on techniques tied to that week’s movement, you will dive into your own creating using paper, fabric, and found objects. Every session wraps up with a supportive time of sharing and reflection, sparking creative inspiration and community. By the end of the course, you will have a beautiful portfolio of collages that are deeply inspired by history, yet uniquely your own.

If you walked into a theater tonight, what kind of play would you want to see? What if you could write exactly that story? This class explores the essential foundations of playwriting—including plot structure, character development, and dynamic dialogue—through a mix of guided prompts and free-writing exercises. Together, we will bring our ideas to life by writing original 10-minute plays, guiding them from initial brainstorms to revisions. If you’ve ever been curious about the creative magic that happens before a script hits the stage, this is your chance to experience it firsthand!

All experience levels are welcome.

This is an introductory ceramics class with a special focus on mask making, where you will practice hand-building techniques such as pinch, coil, and slab construction. Each session will offer a balance of demonstration, guided practice, and open studio time for creative exploration. While mask making will be a central theme—exploring expression, identity, and storytelling through form—you are also encouraged to follow your own ideas and create personal projects. You’ll learn how to shape and sculpt clay, add texture and detail, and prepare your work for firing. Whether you’re building a character, a symbol, or something entirely abstract, this class is about learning, experimenting, and having fun with clay.

Throughout this course, we will discover our own unique personal styles and visual storytelling perspectives through a series of fun drawing exercises and creative games, leading up to writing and drawing our own short comic stories.

This class is for absolutely everyone, regardless of prior drawing experience or technical skill. It’s important to remember: comics can be anything, and so can drawing!
