Our Big Picture Summer Studio Series is a year-round series of weekend creative experiences inspired by our beloved kids’ camps — but designed especially for adults. Learn new skills, make art, meet wonderful people, and rediscover the joy of play and making, just for the fun of it.

Each four-week session explores a new theme — from board game design and pet portraits to murals, sewing, fantasy worlds, and imaginative sculpture. Come learn new skills, meet wonderful people, and make something uniquely yours in a welcoming, relaxed studio environment.

No pressure. No perfection required. Just curiosity, creativity, and community.

Cost: Usually $35 (depending on materials) each weekly session where instruction is included. Finish things up during our Open Studio hours any time on the weekend. Pay only for extra materials you might wish to purchase, such as extra clay.

Sign up for one or just a couple or all of them!

Kids welcome with adult supervision. This would be a fun family activity!

MAY Session: Game Makers—Build Your Own Board Game

Week 1: Game Makers: Build Your Board Game ($35)

Roll the dice on creativity! Campers will design and build their own board games—complete with hand-sculpted pieces and painted boards. This week we’ll design our board and paint/decorate that. We will have a jig-saw available if you want to customize the shape of your board.

Week 2: Game pieces ($35)

Next, sculpt your game pieces or minis out of clay. We’ll fire them, and then you can paint them by hand next week. Or glaze them.

Week 3: Map ($35)

Games and maps go hand-in-hand. Plan out a map of your world so that you know where your quest is taking you! Instructors will show you how to sketch out floating sky islands or create traditional maps, complete with burnt edges and symbols.

Week 4: Game Cards ($35)

Your game will needs cards that direct your players to “Pass Go”. Or perhaps your cards will describe characters’ abilities. Let’s brainstorm and make some foundational cards and some templates that you can add to as the game evolves.
