Printmaking is all about trial and error. Once you have created or found whatever you're stamping, it's very hard to predict exactly how the print will turn out. This process lends itself wonderfully to artists learning from practice and repetition and accepting that failure (and eventual success) is all part of it! Artists will begin the week by creating transfer self portrait prints. Using paint and drawing tools, we'll add detail, design, color and contrast to our transfers. Next, we'll explore pattern and textile design by creating own block prints. We'll use these blocks to complete our own unique bandanas to proudly wear as beautiful and one-of-a-kind works of art! Artists will leave this week of camp with a solid understanding that practice doesn't always make perfect but it does often yield some very interesting and complex artwork.

Summer camp is one of our most beloved programs for campers, teachers and studio managers because of ALL the time we are able to dedicate to art-making and community building throughout the week. In addition to high-quality and multilayered art projects, our Dobbs Ferry camp includes walks in our nearby parks and playgrounds, collaborative outdoor earthworks and daily sketchbook challenges! At the conclusion of each week, families will be invited to an exhibit at the studio, where proud artists will share what they've created! You provide daily bagged lunch and we provide a healthy snack. This year, we're offering early drop off at 8:30am, late pick up at 3:30pm and extended day until 5pm. For artists who stay for extended day, they'll get an additional healthy snack, outdoor time and open ended art-making to finish up the day!

Cost: $750 per week paid in full or with a payment plan of 4 installments:

*These amounts apply only if registration occurs prior to the date of the 2nd installment. If you register after an installment date has passed, the total camp cost will be evenly distributed across the remaining installment dates. To apply for a scholarship, email info@scribbleartworkshop.com.
