Your Children will love this rare opportunity, as we invite them to get messy while they create. And the best part may be that you won't have to clean up! :-)

Kathryn Smith, beloved North Carolina Artist and Instructor, from Holly Springs has been sharing her passion for art and creativty with Kids from the Raleigh area for years, and we're thrilled that she'll be joining us for for her "Let's Make a Mixed Media Mess!" Art Camp at ARTworks Vass!

Let's Make a Mixed Media Media Mess! Creative Kids Art Camp, from July 20nd through July 24th, will allow your children to exercise their creativity in ways that they never dreamed possible.

Will there be paint? Yes!

Found objects? Definitely!

Collage? You bet!

Air Dry or Modeling Clay? Without a doubt!

And so much more!

What will your children create? The sky is the limit!

And we always have a few surprises up our sleeves to keep things interesting too!

While you'll notice that our Make a Mixed Media Mess Camp will be offered twice this summer, each session will provide a unique experience with a different variety of projects. We always have a few surprises up our sleeves to keep things interesting too!

Your Children will have more fun than you can possibly imagine as they build confidence, develop skills, and enjoy the camraderie of their new friends in our creative classes.
