Workshops range from African art to African dance and drumming, poetry to printing, theater to textiles, singing to sewing and more. Many of our artists are also SPECTRA artists who teach in schools throughout the area. Camp Tannery Arts is proud of both the high quality of our artist’s work and their teaching skills. In addition to workshops, campers get to visit artists in their working studios and lofts. On our last day, Friday, students curate their own exhibit and show their work for families and friends .
