June 22-26 | There's No Place Like Home | 9am - 3pm
Inspired by India Thompson’s Looks Like Home, this hands-on camp invites young artists to explore what “home” means to them through art. Students will use a variety of artistic processes to create works inspired by favorite meals, cozy bedrooms, and the people, objects, and moments that make home feel special. Campers will sculpt miniature comfort foods using polymer clay, design and create their own soft stuffy, and make art that celebrates personal stories and the many ways home can look, feel, and be imagined.
Campers will take a special trip to the San Diego History Center, where they’ll explore the stories, places, and people that have shaped the city they call home: San Diego.
Ages: 6-10
Member early access registration will be available on Tuesday, February 17. Mingei Members will receive a registration link via email.
Public registration opens here on our website on Wednesday, February 23rd.
