Yep, those are boom boxes! 🤣
With cassettes!
And old frames and decoupage!
And sheets of music from 1986! 😅ummm, which was 40 years ago! 😶

We painted, collaged, drew, decoupaged, designed, and laughed! It was a lovely day at art camp! Our next one is July 1st!

Art camps are the ultimate summer experiences!
Hands-on!
All day!
Messy, fun, and engaging!
Screen-free!
Themed to inspire art-making and lots of joy!

TOMORROW, June 12th, we are busting out my aged wooden frame collection for a special project, along with giant paintings of boom boxes, circa 1980 LOL, and a few other surprises!

Since I have been leading art camps since 2009, there are definitely not Facebook videos of all of them...🤣 BUT, you can check out our reels to see a whole lot of art camp experiences over the past 3 years! The vintage art camp from last year was incredible! We drew old-fashioned roller skates and collaged the mats before framing! They were awesome! I always switch up the projects if I repeat a camp!
