Have you ever thought to build something out of materials that you normally consider trash? This camp allows campers to see “trash” in a new light! We will be creating large and small scale sculptures using materials such as bottle caps, plastic containers and bottles, styrofoam, bubble wrap, wood scraps and anything else that you might normally find hanging out in the trash can or recycling bin at home. Campers will create these sculptures with an emphasis on artistic design, creativity and function.
Mini Fools Rules Regatta Camp is inspired by the Annual Fools Rules Regatta organized by the Jamestown Yacht Club every summer, where for the past 40 years participants build life-sized boats out of unconventional materials. We will not be making sculptural boats that are large enough to actually sail, but sculptures should be made with the intention to float. Each camper will receive an award: most creative, most likely to stay afloat, most luxurious, etc. Camp participants will be encouraged to bring in recyclable materials to build their artistic boat. The last session will be held at East Ferry Beach in Jamestown to sail our Mini Fools’ Rules sculptures — family and friends are welcome to come watch!
Please wear appropriate clothing, as there is potential for spills and stains. Campers should bring a snack and water bottle each day.

Join Encaustic painter Kelly Milukas to explore the versatility of Encaustic wax painting and pigme
nts! Applied and tooled with low-heat and high-octane instruments, and brushes from a molten wax palette, it is truly an outstanding journey in art making! This fast-paced workshop will introduce all the necessary skills and knowledge to make Encaustic part of your creative process.
The workshop is open to all, but the main focus will be introductory: covering the basics. It’s perfect for those who are new to the medium, and those looking for an uncomplicated overview of setting up a safe studio and learning current best practices, painting and fusing encaustic layers, and use of mark-making tools. It’s equally beneficial for those with some Encaustics experience who would like a refresher and some independent painting time. Mornings will be dedicated to demonstrations and instructor-led exercises, while afternoons will be a time for students to work on projects of their own and to receive one-on-one and group feedback on content and technique. Participants will be encouraged to work at an individual pace, and can also expect to create a small series of works in a fun and convivial studio environment.
This class includes ALL necessary supplies! Supplies include Hot Plates, Torches, Heat Guns, Tempered Table Covers, Wax Medium, Soy Wax Cleaner, Mark-Making Tools, Paint, Brushes, Wood Boards and Paper Substrates.

Mishima is a technique of inlaying color into the main clay body of the pottery piece. This technique creates extremely fine, intricate design work with hard, sharp edges that can be difficult to reliably replicate in any other way. Water etching is another surface decoration technique. It is executed by covering part of the clay surface with a resist material. The exposed areas are then abrading using a wet sponge. This is a great technique to add depth and visual interest to a surface while keeping a very clean and simple finish. Students will learn how to use these techniques together. Tips, tool choice and material guidance will be covered as well as suggested designs.
• teacher will bring wax, plastic sheeting for image transfer, underglazes, waterproof paper, cutting tools, slip, tape, & sponges
• students should bring 3-4 leather hard pots with smooth surface, a gallon sized bucket, 1” soft bristle brush, needle tool, clean cloth rag for drying hands, soft red rib, x-acto knife, and any reference imagery they may like.
This is the second of four Advanced Clay Techniques the JAC is offering this year from acclaimed ceramicist Christine Herron of Red Chair Studio Clay!

Have you ever thought to build something out of materials that you normally consider trash? This camp allows campers to see “trash” in a new light! We will be creating large and small scale sculptures using materials such as bottle caps, plastic containers and bottles, styrofoam, bubble wrap, wood scraps and anything else that you might normally find hanging out in the trash can or recycling bin at home. Campers will create these sculptures with an emphasis on artistic design, creativity and function.
Mini Fools Rules Regatta Camp is inspired by the Annual Fools Rules Regatta organized by the Jamestown Yacht Club every summer, where for the past 40 years participants build life-sized boats out of unconventional materials. We will not be making sculptural boats that are large enough to actually sail, but sculptures should be made with the intention to float. Each camper will receive an award: most creative, most likely to stay afloat, most luxurious, etc. Camp participants will be encouraged to bring in recyclable materials to build their artistic boat. The last session will be held at East Ferry Beach in Jamestown to sail our Mini Fools’ Rules sculptures — family and friends are welcome to come watch!
Please wear appropriate clothing, as there is potential for spills and stains. Campers should bring a snack and water bottle each day.
