This class is a true summer tradition at the studio and a favorite year after year. It launches the season with a burst of creativity, energy, and pure artistic fun. Art explorers dive into drawing, painting, and mixed media while soaking in the inspiration of beautiful Scituate Harbor right outside the studio doors. Sketchbooks quickly fill with expressive lines, bold color, and imaginative ideas, and each explorer completes a collection of finished pieces, including a canvas painting, watercolor artwork, pen-and-ink drawings, and more. Days are spent capturing harbor views, sketching in the garden, and gathering ideas from nearby galleries. It’s an exciting, fast-moving week overflowing with creativity, discovery, and the joy of summertime art.

This week has been such a smash hit that it’s back for a full session, and it’s brighter, bolder, and more creative than ever. Kids dive into a world of glass, color, and pattern as they design their own framed stained-glass mosaics that glow like little windows of art. The fun keeps rolling with vibrant garden mosaic rocks, dazzling mandala stones, and sea-glass creations that feel like treasures pulled straight from the shoreline. Every project is hands-on, exciting, and incredibly satisfying to make, and the finished pieces are absolutely gorgeous. It’s a week packed with sparkle, imagination, and the thrill of creating artwork that truly shines.

An inspiring class that dives deep into clay techniques, ocean themes, and big imagination. Art explorers jump into a world of seaside creativity as they sculpt aquariums, dolphins, seals, turtles, tropical fish, and all kinds of vibrant sea life. The adventure gets even more exciting with mythical ocean creatures — shimmering merfolk, sea dragons, coral guardians, and mysterious beings from the deep that spark wild creativity. The pottery wheel adds another layer of fun, giving kids the chance to shape ocean-themed ceramics that feel like treasures pulled from the tide. If working with clay is your happy place, this class is an absolute must. Roll up your sleeves, embrace the glorious mess, and dive into a week where imagination swims in every direction.

Follow the Yellow Brick Road into a reimagined Oz where emerald light, swirling shadows, and unexpected magic shape every creation. Artists build glowing Emerald City towers, craft mysterious Wicked Forest mini worlds, and sculpt expressive Oz companions — from stylized flying monkeys to emerald owls and entirely new guardians dreamed up in the studio. Mixed-media story panels map each artist’s path through Oz, Glinda-inspired bubble lanterns drift with soft shimmer, and spellbook-style covers take on aged textures and emerald runes. Clay footwear sculptures — witch boots, bubble-magic heels, or imaginative hybrids — bring the world to life in three dimensions. It’s a magical, atmospheric week filled with storytelling, world-building, and the wonderfully strange charm of Oz.

This summer, artists step into Ocean Light & Coastal Wonders — a glowing, imaginative shoreline where colors shimmer across the waves and sea creatures seem to rise from the water with stories of their own. Friends design their own magical ocean creatures, create beautiful batik ocean pillows (a cherished studio tradition), and paint whimsical buoys that look as if they belong in a storybook harbor. The studio fills with coastal enchantment as artists explore swirling ocean‑sky paintings, sculpted sea‑life forms, sparkling shell and sea‑glass creations, and lighthouse scenes that glow with atmosphere and gentle mystery. Each project becomes part of a dreamy seaside world, and a surprise creation will appear when inspiration drifts in on the tide.

Step into the lush, glowing world of the rainforest — a place alive with color, creatures, and hidden stories. Artists create expressive clay rainforest masks, botanical prints using real leaves and ferns, glowing jungle flowers, and Amazon river dioramas filled with vines, boats, and mysterious wildlife. From jaguars and tree frogs to giant butterflies and canopy birds, each artist chooses the creatures and plants that call to them. Explorer journals, rainforest sculptures, and imaginative artifacts round out a week filled with discovery, creativity, and vibrant jungle magic.

Slip beneath the waves into a quiet, glowing world where shipwrecks rest in the sand and ancient maps whisper of treasures still waiting to be found. Artists sculpt shimmering sea creatures, build sunken city scenes, and create coral forests rising from imagined wrecks. Hand‑drawn nautical maps, mysterious relics, and fragments of forgotten stories guide the week like clues in an unfolding tale. The adventure includes a visit to the Maritime and Irish Mossing Museum in Scituate, where real shipwreck lore, mossing history, and harbor artifacts spark new chapters in each artist’s story. Back in the studio, those discoveries weave into their creations as if the harbor itself had handed them secrets. The Hidden Harbor becomes a place of wonder, storytelling, and deep‑sea magic — a week where every artist uncovers something extraordinary.

This extraordinary week invites young artists to step out of the studio and into the wild beauty of our local landscape. Each day becomes its own creative journey as we travel to breathtaking locations to draw, paint, and immerse ourselves in nature. We’ll spend a day at World’s End in Hingham, capturing sweeping coastal views, a day at Dalby Farm sketching animals up close, and additional time exploring other gorgeous outdoor settings perfect for plein‑air art and quiet observation. With long, spacious sessions, artists have time to settle in, experiment, and truly see the world around them. The week blends art, exploration, camaraderie, and the joy of creating outdoors. Back at the studio, each piece will be matted and finished with personal touches, giving every artwork a polished, gallery‑ready feel. It’s a memorable adventure in creativity — art made in the wild.
