Summer Education in the Garden

Outdoor Learning Center

This summer, we inaugurated our our newly renovated art studio and outdoor learning center by offering camps and family/youth programs that made ample use of the sculpture collection, the natural setting, and our temporary exhibition, “Inside/Outside: Linda Wervey Vitamvas & Kevin Giese.” With a focus on observation, the “Table Top Sculptures” camp investigated the importance of looking and seeing in art and nature. Participants learned a range of techniques and processes–papermaking, printmaking, bookbinding, and origami–and created books, cards, boxes and sculptural ojects that were collectively assembled into one final work.
