Jewelry Design Camp: Create, Shine & Showcase!
Get ready to sparkle! In this hands-on jewelry design camp, young creators design and make their own unique pieces from start to finish.
Throughout the week, campers learn from experienced young fashion designers. Instructors guide them as they work with polymer clay to create necklaces, bracelets, earrings, and more. Campers mix colors, shape designs, and add personal details. Along the way, they build real design skills and express their creativity.
At the end of the week, campers show off their work in a fun fashion show. Family and friends are invited to celebrate their creativity and hard work.
Each camper completes at least five original pieces to take home. The camp fee includes all materials and supplies. This camp is perfect for budding designers and hands-on makers alike. It blends fun, fashion, and artistic expression.
No prior experience is required. Just bring your imagination and enthusiasm!
For those students who are looking to attend more than one week of camp, please note that each week will feature a different series of projects as well as new clay colors and designs to choose from.
Ages 6 – 13
