Summer Art Camp with Katie Podracky

Hey Parents! Would you like a morning or two to yourself this summer? Send your little ones to art camp with me so they can get messy and have a blast while you relax or get something done. I’m an artist and art teacher with 5 years of experience in the public schools. To see my work visit www.katiewallart.com.

To register your child or for any questions, text me or call at 912-704-3637. You may also email me at Katie.elane.wall@gmail.com. Please give your child's name and grade, plus your cell phone number and email address so that I can send reminders. I also need to know about any allergies. Snack: Please send a snack with your child both days of camp. Class sizes are limited, so please text me as soon as possible to let me know of your intent. Full payment reserves your child’s spot in art camp. Checks may be made to Katie Podracky and mailed to 3022 Lake Forest Dr., Greensboro, NC 27408. All camps are held at my home and all art supplies are included in the price of camp unless otherwise noted.

Clay Days Grades 3-5 (rising 3rd-5th grade)
July 6, 7 and 13(extra day for glazing), 9-11a.m. 75$
If you’ve always wanted to try your hand at the pottery wheel, this camp is for you! In addition to throwing pots, students will be introduced to hand building techniques in clay. This camp wouldn’t be finished without a day to glaze your ceramic creations, so it will extend to the following week for a glazing day. If you are unable to make the glazing day, I can work with you to find a different date. 

Candy Land Art Camp Grades 3-5 (rising 3rd-5th grade)
August 3 and 4, 9-11 a.m. $50
Welcome to the sweet life! This week we will sculpt paper-Mache ice cream cones, draw candy still life pictures and paint Thiebaud-inspired cakes.

Color Magic: Batik, Ice-Dyes and Printmaking
 August 10 and 11, 12-2 p.m. $50
Do you love color? Are you up for a challenge? Join me for an advanced art camp for middle school students where we'll use color in unexpected ways. We will use wax and dye to make silk scarf batik art, followed by ice-dying old t-shirts to bring them new life. Have you ever wanted to make art with jello? This is your chance! We'll be using jello and paint to print fabulous designs on paper. We'll also explore the Japanese art of Suminigashi, or spilled ink printing.  Bring a bagged lunch and an old t-shirt that you'd like to ice-dye with crazy bright colors.
