Summer Camp 2026 (4 - 6 years): Glowing Animals

In this imaginative workshop, participants will design and build their very own animal-shaped lamp. Starting with a simple lamp cord as the base, they will sculpt a creature of their choosing using foil and clay, shaping its body, features, and personality by hand. The lamp is then nestled into the animal's open mouth, so the finished creature appears to glow from within — turning an everyday light into a charming companion that lights up their room.

Why Choose This Workshop?

This workshop blends sculpture, design, and a touch of engineering into one playful making experience. Participants explore how to build three-dimensional forms from everyday materials, exercise their imagination by inventing their own creature, and take home a functional object they made themselves. It is a wonderful introduction to hands-on creativity, combining the joy of sculpting with the magic of a glowing, finished piece.

What Participants Will Learn

By the end of the workshop, participants will have learned how to build a sturdy form using foil and clay, developed basic sculpting and shaping techniques, explored how to combine materials into a single creative object, and gained confidence in turning their own imaginative ideas into a finished, functional lamp.

Meals
A daily meal will be provided for all participants throughout the Summer Camp.
