Sculpt and Screen: Digital Clay Camp (8-14)

Join the Sculpt & Screen: Digital Clay Camp this Spring Break!
This 5-day camp allows artists to master cutting-edge technology by using drawing tablets to create a "Digital Passport" of artwork inspired by global spring destinations (e.g., Japan, Amazon, Europe).
The class combines this digital learning with a hands-on clay sculpture project, where students design, sculpt, and paint 3D "Global Spring Relief Tile." Students will gain proficiency in both digital art software and tactile 3D techniques, taking home both a professional digital print and their finished clay masterpiece.
