Summer Art Camp 1st-3rd Grade

Tinworks Art Camp

We welcome young artists to explore the world of art through all their senses! Art is an integral part of building a healthy, enriched, and creative community, and we are excited to contribute to the expanding artistic horizons of Bozeman. Kids will partake in art-making sessions with professional art educators, learn about our 2025 exhibition, and showcase the art they make. Activities will include painting, drawing, printmaking, sculpture, fiber, storytelling, photography, and movement-based projects inspired by the themes of our Tinworks' exhibition. February 1st signup, 16 max per camp.

Questions regarding camp can be directed to Community Outreach and Education Coordinator Angela Yonke at angela.yonke@tinworksart.org.

Camp Description

Get ready to build with your hands! Campers (1st-3rd grades in fall) will learn all about the science and methods of making art with clay. Enjoy this versatile material by creating everything from functional objects and sculptural forms to practicing meditative and therapeutic exercises. Students will tour the 2025 Tinworks exhibition based around clay to find inspiration as well as look at examples of ceramics from different cultures. This session will culminate in an art show for families and guardians to celebrate their camper’s artworks. All clay projects will be fired and available for pick-up at the end of the following week at Tinworks. Registration opens February 1st!
