Color and creativity come together, yet again, in this exciting workshop designed for young artists aged 8-12.
This kids' watercolor workshop expands on previous lessons, instructed by teaching-artist Jean Vandervaart, by introducing the technique of negative (space) painting to achieve unique Cryptid and Spirit-themed works of art.
Negative painting is a method in which the background is painted dark, allowing the lighter color to appear as the design or "positive" shape.
Whether a budding artist or someone who just loves to get creative, this class offers a supportive and inspiring environment for all skill levels. We invite kids to expand their imagination with watercolor! Supplies/materials are included with registration.

REGISTRATION for this class CLOSES @ 5:00 pm on Thursday, July, 24th.
For Ages 14+ (those under age 18 must be accompanied by an adult)
Experience the magic of pour painting, a unique technique where vibrant colors flow freely onto the canvas. Participants are encouraged to choose three colors of their liking and let their creativity soar. They can enhance their masterpieces with glitter, silicone, oil, or foil for an extra touch of sparkle and depth. The possibilities are endless, and the process is fun and free-spirited.
In this workshop, students will create their unique painting on an 8” x 10” canvas. Due to the nature of the materials, completed paintings will be left to dry and available for pick-up after two days, during The Dairy Barn’s regular hours Tuesday-Friday 9:00 AM - 5:00 PM, and Saturday-Sunday 12:00 PM - 5:00 PM.
Teaching Artist, Savannah Fish, has experience teaching individuals with diverse abilities, and creating an inclusive learning environment. She invites you to discover the joy of creating beautiful art together!

Teen Art Camp July 28th
with Sara Severns, Jessica Held
Teen Art Campers are provided in-depth opportunities to explore visual art media and making. Small groups allow for collaboration with each other and the experienced Teaching Artists. All stages of the creative process are emphasized -- concept, planning, and execution.
This summer, campers will discover the art of printmaking with Sara Severns, learning techniques like linocut and screen printing. They'll explore how printmaking can be used in both fine art and streetwear design, gaining practical experience in creating their own prints.
With Jessica Held, campers will explore fiber arts through batik and embroidery. They'll experiment with wax resist and dye to create unique fabric designs and practice embroidery stitches to add texture and detail to their work.
Throughout the week, teens will build confidence in their artistic abilities, express themselves freely, and connect with peers who share their passion for art!
