SPEND SUMMER IN COLOR AT CAE!
Give your young artists an immersive and hands-on experience with summer camps at Center for the Arts Evergreen. CAE offers half-day camps and lunch studios for kids aged 5-18, running from June 2 through August 15. Campers come to us from Evergreen, Conifer, Morrison and Golden, as well as from down the hill in the Denver metro area, because our vetted instructors are just so awesome at what they do. Our camps explore various media, from clay sculpting and drawing techniques, to pop art and mural painting, to the art of different cultures and the art of the masters. Several of our camps also incorporate outdoor components, including hikes, plein air painting, and opportunities for photography and eco-art projects.

Description: Step into a world of enchantment in Magical Clay: Fairy Houses & Gnomes! In this whimsical ceramics camp, young artists (ages 9-14) will use hand-building techniques to create their own fairy houses, gnome sculptures, and other magical clay creations. Campers will learn how to build sturdy and imaginative structures using slabs, coils, and pinch methods, while also exploring decorative techniques like carving, stamping, and adding textured details to bring their fantasy worlds to life.
From designing intricate fairy doors and mushroom rooftops to sculpting tiny gnome friends, students will let their creativity shine while developing essential ceramic skills. Along the way, they’ll learn about surface treatments, glazing, and how to bring personality into their work. Whether they dream of crafting a cozy woodland home or a mischievous gnome with a twirly beard, this camp is the perfect place for young artists to explore storytelling through clay. By the end of the week, they’ll have their own magical clay creations to display or gift!

Students should arrive to camp prepared to spend the morning outdoors with appropriate layers for the unpredictable weather, sunscreen applied, sun hat, sunglasses, water bottle and snacks.
