CHILDREN’S WORKSHOPS
The Children’s workshop program explores a full array of artistic disciplines with
this core goal: to engage, develop and inspire young artists. A dynamic range of
workshops for ages 4 to 17 allows students to try new media, learn different techniques
and explore ideas. Instructors, parents, friends and staff celebrate the outcomes of
each project, and the collaborative journey of artmaking. The Evelyn and Martin Siegel
Children’s Building is equipped with a large studio space and the facilities for each
project. There is a supply closet stocked with resources, two kilns, a children’s book
library, digital technology and a wonderful outdoor area. Children participating in all-day
workshops should bring a sack lunch; adult supervision will be provided.

Family saturdays
Get messy with your kids! Use your imagination and learn about art. Family Saturdays
consist of Saturday morning workshops, where children and adults create multimedia
art projects together. Taught by Lisa Kohlhepp, a talented children’s art instructor, project
themes are exciting for young children. Specific art projects will not be announced until the
day of the workshop. Supplies are included. Children must be accompanied by an adult.
Lisa Kohlhepp received her BFA in Ceramics from East Carolina University and attended
continuing studies in ceramics at the University of Massachusetts, Dartmouth. She has
taught children of all ages and enjoys projects that are lively and interactive.

Pack your bags and kiss your folks goodbye
because we are embarking on the trip of a lifetime! We start our journey by creating our very
own passports and then off we go to Mexico,
Egypt, Japan, Italy and Africa. Each day we
focus on one destination and create a one-of-akind work of art: mosaic sunshines from Mexico, hieroglyphics from Egypt, carp windsocks
from Japan, a detailed fresco from Italy and
tribal masks from Africa. We also take time to
discover the culture, folklore, history and even
the food from each of these special places.

The sunflower might just be the prettiest thing
that grows in our mountains! Join us as we
take a detailed look at these cheerful blooms
through the eyes of the artist who made them
famous: Vincent Van Gogh. Why did he paint
so many series of sunflowers? And how did
he make them look as if they’re jumping off
the canvas? In this workshop we get our hands
dirty–with both paint and soil–as we create a
framed sunflower masterpiece. We also cultivate a mini-garden of sunflowers to take home
and watch grow!
