ART SUMMER CAMP | KIDS AGE 9-13 | MUDROOM
JULY 27-31
9AM-1PM
Blast off into a week of creative space exploration during Heather’s Out Of This World Spacecraft Camp. Young artists ages 9 to 13 will build 3D alien landscapes packed with wild terrain and imaginative space creatures. Using clay and various mixed media, campers will create textured scenes and experiment with watercolor techniques to create glowing nebulae and star-filled skies. Along the way, students will customize rockets with their own style and even “launch” them. Join us on this week-long hands-on space adventure where creativity knows no limits!

HEATHER WHITFORD
she/her
Heather has been a maker for as long as she can remember, exploring her creativity through both fiber and clay. She first fell for pottery back in high school in Milford, CT, and years later found her way back to clay as a student at MudCity Clay. What started as a class quickly grew into a passion and a real love for the community that makes MudCity so special. Her time at the studio has only deepened her belief that play fuels learning and that making art together is one of the best ways to connect with others.
She and her incredibly supportive husband raised two kids who grew up to be talented artists and musicians, and now she spends her days in the woods with three dogs, two cats, and a pile of creative projects. Thanks to the encouragement and inspiration from Meghan, Heather discovered how much she loves teaching and sharing the magic of clay with younger generations. She hopes to always stay curious, keep her hands muddy, and continue learning alongside the kids she teaches.
