How do artists find inspiration within their studio spaces? In what ways can we use studio spaces to be creative? Sometimes the most unconventional tools can be surprisingly interesting to work with! Have you ever painted with a toothbrush or made your own drawing tool? Campers will be invited to work on easels, experiment with wooden mannequins, paint on the floor, and let the paint drip. Group work will be encouraged as we will make the most of studio spaces together!
