Creative Genius Camp Highlights-2012

I have been away from blogging, mostly because of that wonderful, once-a-year occurrence known as CAMP SEASON at Creative Genius. 

So far we are 60% completed with our camps and have had a blast. All the camp groups have been terrific and the creativity shown by the kids has been nothing short of inspiring. Included here is a peek of some of the camp groups and their fabulous creations.

Painting and Drawing Camp

Coming up in the month of August to finish out our camp schedule: 
MIX IT UP CAMP: includes projects in a variety of mediums each week. This is different from our other camps because most camp weeks are based around a specific medium (DIGITAL PHOTOGRAPHY CAMP, CLAY CAMP, PAINTING AND DRAWING CAMP, etc). MIX IT UP includes different projects including clay, painting and drawing, upcycling, etc. I am looking forward to a fun week of interesting and unique projects. 

Sneak peek of some projects from UPCYCLING CAMP-coming up in August!

UPCYCLING CAMP: includes projects utilizing different items that might be considered trash by some. We will take different items each day and create cool art. This camp is awesome--we had a blast last year and I am really looking forward to it this year. 
There are still spaces for the following weeks:
Upcycling camp-Aug 13th-Aug 17th
Mix It Up Camp-Aug 20th-Aug 24th

To register your child, just give us a call or email me at jbaselloholt@verizon.net

During camp season, we here at Creative Genius specialize in HAPPY CAMPERS! 

Group bench painting project--it came out great!

Things to do this summer

I have been contacted a lot recently about what kinds of things we have available to do this summer at Creative Genius. It got me thinking that we actually have quite a lot going on here and perhaps it would help to consolidate the key highlights all in one place.

For Children:
As we have for the past 8 summer seasons, we will be running our Summer Day Camp offerings in our studio. 
Day camp offerings include different activities each week and sign up is per week. Offerings include Digital Photography, Pottery, Mix It Up Camp (2 different weeks offered), Upcycling Camp, Painting and Drawing Camp and Clay Camp for Little Ones. For information about any of our camp offerings, visit Creative Genius Summer Camps

In addition to camps, our regular Pottery Classes (Thursdays) and Childrens Painting and Drawing Classes (Wednesdays) are available throughout the summer.  

Lastly for children, there are workshops scheduled that cater specifically to kids or that kids can take with adults. 

For Teens:
We considered doing Teen Camps but weren't quite sure how much interest level there would be. That being said, we have regular weekly offerings that are perfect for Teens. 
Teen Painting and Drawing is a favorite here at Creative Genius (Wednesdays from 4-6pm). Also a favorite is Pottery Class (two offerings Thursdays). Another option is 1x1 Digital Photography Classes (by appointment on Tuesday afternoons).  Plenty of interesting things for Teens to do on a weekly basis. We also have a few workshops that Teens can participate in as well. 
For additional information: visit The Art Studio at Creative Genius 

For Adults:
Weekly Classes in Painting and Drawing (Weds), Pottery (Thursdays), Digital Photography (1x1 by appt on Tuesdays) and  Jewelry Metalsmithing (Tuesdays) are available throughout the summer.

We've also got some great workshops happening including Flower Arranging Purse Workshop (June), Bottle Slumping Cheese Plate Workshops (scheduled for your group of 4 or more by appointment), and a great Mosaic Workshop (Sept). 
We often do open houses for our customers too...
