Connecting Through Creativity

*Please note that the museum will be closed and there will be no camp on June 19th in observance of Juneteenth.
Sometimes our emotions are so big and strong, using words to share them can be difficult. Campers will use art to connect with their emotions and the emotions of others with SEE (Social, Emotional, Ethical) Learning facilitator and teacher Jillian Minarich. Campers will explore art as a means of expressing emotion through color, create pottery that meets their practical personal needs, identify and use patterns to experiment with mindfulness, and create textiles that honor their inner selves.
