🧌 Monster Makers: Found Materials Sculpture Workshop
with John Crockett-Person
(Grades 2nd & up)
$75
July 13–17 | 10 AM–12 PM

Something is stirring in the sticks… and it wants to be built.
In this wildly imaginative hands-on camp, students will design and build their own one-of-a-kind monsters using found, recycled, and unexpected materials. Twigs become claws, bottle caps become eyes, and scraps of wood, fabric, wire, bark, and mystery objects all come together to create creatures full of personality and story.

We’ll kick off the week with a guided nature walk to collect inspiring natural materials, then head into the studio to transform them into expressive monster sculptures. Students are encouraged to bring small found objects from home to add to their creations! This camp encourages creativity, storytelling, problem-solving, and seeing beauty in the overlooked.

Come build something weird. Come build something wonderful. Come make a monster. 👀🌿
