Go vertical in this playful sculpture workshop focusing on stacking, balancing, and stability. We’ll use familiar objects to make colorful columns and textured totems that defy gravity, revealing a jaw-dropping exhibition for family and friends at the end of the week.

Lace up your hiking boots and buckle your backpack in this high-alpine, action-painting workshop. Using paint, pastels, and found objects, we’ll paint in response to our surroundings, creating expressive abstract works of art that capture our feelings of the mountains in the moment.

Discover the power of drawing together as we mark, smudge, and smear surfaces with expressive lines, shapes, and tones, producing a series of unique abstract works in various materials. Individual and collective portfolios will be shared with family and new friends we’ve made.
