Contemporary Craft July 13-17 Heather Mitcham Contemporary Craft introduces campers to the exciting ways today’s artists blend traditional craft techniques with bold ideas and personal storytelling. Throughout the week, students will explore the work of three contemporary artists—Bisa Butler, Colette Fu, and Robert Lugo—each of whom uses craft materials and processes in innovative and expressive ways. Campers will learn about each artist’s unique style, materials, and approach, then apply those ideas to their own creative projects. Using a variety of media, students will create fabric portraits, design and construct pop-up books, and experiment with clay. Additional projects will encourage experimentation and personal expression.
