Family Garden Tea Party Workshop
  • This is for the whole family! Each painter (each registration includes 1 piece of pottery, please register accordingly) will be able to choose from a variety of the garden themed pottery including tea cups, mugs, mushrooms, gnomes, and small planters and choose from an array of brightly colored glazes to decorate their piece with! Feeling extra creative? Try your hand and “bubble” glazing or “syringe” glazing to make interesting drips and swirls!
  • After painting, please enjoy some light refreshments of tea, coffee, and treats! (please be aware treats may contain wheat, nuts, etc. use discretion!)
  • Pottery will be available for pickup approximately 2-3 weeks after workshop. The Parks office will notify you via email when they are available for pick up at the Park's office.

Budding Artists (5-7 Years)

  • Summer vacation is just around the corner! In this series we will have summery themed art projects to get us in the mood for blue skies, beaches, and fun! There will be seashell pottery painting with wacky glaze techniques and different shell designs to choose from, learn how to create a realistic textured beach scene on wooden plaques (perfect for hanging on a wall to welcome summer!) a two part water color and colorful sand process painting, and a cute little polymer clay pencil buddy/finger puppet project to end the series.
  • Please note pottery painting projects will need to be fired and will be ready approximately 2-3 weeks after the last day of the series. The Parks office will notify you via email when they are available for pick up at the Park’s office.

Adult Pottery Painting Workshop: What's in YOUR cup?
  • Please note: The correct date for class is Sunday, May 18, 10:30 a.m. to NOON
  • Tea drinker? Ice Coffee? Bahama Mama? What’s in YOUR cup this summer? In this adults only workshop you can choose from a few fun drinkware designs that include mugs, cups, and funky margarita designs. Each piece will be clear coated so they’re 100% food safe and top rack dishwasher safe (though I recommend washing by hand).
  • After painting, please enjoy some light NON-ALCOHOLIC refreshments.
  • Pieces will be fired and ready approximately three weeks after the workshop (due to pottery size these do take a little more time!). The Parks office will notify you via email when they are available for pick up at the Park’s office.

Not Just the Brush Art Camp
  • Ages 8-11, and ages 5-7 with parent participant
  • You asked for it, summer art camp is back! If you have a child who LOVES art, this is a great opportunity to start the summer off on a creative foot! For four mornings we will create in clay, pottery paint, make friendship bracelets/necklaces with polymer and beads, a pirate themed craft with a treasure hunt, and what’s an art camp without a little painting? Yes! We will be painting with acrylic as well as watercolor in this camp!
  • Each camper will receive one apron on the first day of camp to decorate and wear to camp each day.
  • Participants are welcome to bring a water bottle and a light snack with them as we will take a small break around 10 a.m. each day.
  • Clay and pottery pieces will be ready for pick up approximately three weeks after the camp (please allow additional time as clay needs time to dry before firing). The Parks office will notify you via email when they are available for pick up at the Park’s office.
