Kids Jewelry Camp (Ages 8-18)

$325.00

Sparkle, shine, and create! In this camp, kids will design and make their own wearable art. They will learn to make and paint their own jewelry, using wood, clay, fibers, wire, paper, polymer clay, charms, and mixed materials. We’ll explore color, pattern, texture, and simple jewelry-making techniques to create necklaces bracelets, pendants, earrings keychains, and more. Every day introduces new skills and materials so campers can build confidence and leave with a collection of unique, handcrafted pieces. All materials are provided. Classes are small, capping at 6 students, and fill up fast.

Who Will Have the Most Fun: Kids who enjoy working with their hands, can follow simple directions, and can safely handle small tools and materials. Basic hand skills—like tying shoes—help kids feel confident and successful.

About the Instructor: Dyan Akkouche is a certified Kansas art teacher (K–12) who currently teaches in Auburn-Washburn schools and serves as an adjunct professor at Washburn University. She is a former full-time art education professor and has trained many art educators across the Midwest. Dyan is opening her home art studio to provide more hands-on art opportunities for Topeka kids and teens.

Dress Policy: In the Art Studio we “dress for the mess and that leads to success.” Kids should come in comfortable, older clothes that you are not worried about getting dirty. We provide aprons, but sometimes they miss the apron. Some materials we use such as acrylic paints may stain clothes.

Food Policy: We have a snack break. Please provide non-nut-based snacks for your child and a full water bottle.

Dogs on Site: Dogs live on the first floor and will be kenneled in a different part of the house during camp hours. They bark and produce fur and dander. Unfortunately, our studio may not be the best fit for kids with dog allergies.
