Ben is a Seattle-based artist working across printmaking, installation, glass, and public art. He's a professor of printmaking at Cornish College of the Arts and co-founder of Mini Mart City Park. He recently studied with master printers in Istanbul, honing the centuries-old craft of Ebru (Turkish paper marbling).

Try your hand at Ebru, the ancient Turkish art of painting on water. You'll float pigments on a liquid surface, shape them into patterns, and transfer your designs to paper. It's fast, loose, and experimental. Expect to leave with 10 to 20 unique prints.

Alyssa grows and designs with flowers at her Vashon Island farm, Sweet Alyssum Farm. After eight years in the field (literally), her style leans into seasonal color and nature's charming imperfections. You can find her blooms at Seattle Growers Market, Queen Anne Farmers Market, and Vashon Farmers Market.

Work with a variety of dried botanical flowers and pods to create your own everlasting wall hanging. You'll take home a finished piece to enjoy for years, and pick up tips for foraging and drying your own plant materials throughout the seasons.

Mandy is a mixed media artist and large-scale fiber installation artist based in Seattle. Over 30 years of making, she's built fantastical worlds out of fiber, worked in costume and performance, and recently came full circle back to pottery, where she started.

Learn the ancient art of coiled basket-making using reclaimed fibers, vintage yarns, and treasures from Mandy's own collection. The rhythmic, meditative process transforms worn-out materials into something beautiful. You'll leave with a colorful coiled basket and a new practice you can continue at home with whatever fibers you have lying around. Photo by: Jeff Landi

Monica is an artist creating color, prints, and patterns on natural fibers using plants and flowers. Inspired by slow, sustainable living, she grew her first indigo plant, watched it turn sea blue, and never looked back. She now grows many of her own dye plants on Vashon Island through her practice, Solidago Grow.

Use flowers, plants, and heat to create a one-of-a-kind silk scarf through the art of bundle dyeing. No experience needed. You'll leave with a vibrant finished scarf and a booklet so you can keep experimenting at home.

Court is a Vashon-based potter and owner of Of the Earth Collective, a community pottery studio in Seattle. She splits her time between her Seattle studio and her home studio on the island, focused on creating work and experiences that invite people to slow down, tune in, and appreciate the simple beauty in the world around them.

Spend Friday evening getting out of your head and in tune with your hands. You'll handbuild small bowls and altars out of terra cotta, learn surface design techniques to add your own personal touches, and find camaraderie with your tablemates. Expect to create 2-3 small forms that you'll take home at the end of the weekend.

Yoshi is a Tacoma-based printmaker working in woodcuts, linocuts, etchings, and monotypes. She loves teaching for what she learns from participants and the sense of community it builds. She's a big believer in hands-on learning, mistakes and all.

Carve your own design into a linoleum block and print it by hand with oil-based ink on washi (Japanese mulberry paper). Yoshi will walk you through every step, from transferring your sketch to pulling your first print. No experience needed. You'll leave with original prints and a technique you can keep using at home.

Yulia is a wet felting artist behind Koshka Creations on Vashon Island. A marine scientist by training, she found her way to fiber art after moving to the island in 2017. She trained as a dressmaker at Dova Silks before discovering felting, and now creates hats, scarves, and wearable art from merino wool and silk.

Learn the art of nuno felting and create your own scarf using merino wool, rayon fibers, and silk. All you need are your hands, water, soap, and your imagination. You'll leave with a one-of-a-kind wearable piece and the know-how to keep felting at home.

Janice has been making jewelry for years, mostly as a way to slow down and play with color and texture. She is a trained silversmith working toward her diploma in Fine Jewelry, but for camp she’s bringing something more accessible - and just as satisfying.

In her workshop, you’ll make memory wire beaded bracelets using a mix of stone beads, glass beads, crystals, and charms. No experience needed. Just show up ready to choose what calls to you and leave with something you made with your own hands.

Carly is a stained glass artist on Vashon Island and a K-12 STEM educator who has always made a point of weaving art into her curriculum. During the pandemic, she returned to working with stained glass and discovered she could combine traditional techniques with the digital fabrication tools she was using in the classroom to create a new kind of lead-free stained glass art. She works with repurposed glass and wood, and occasionally folds in urban-foraged finds like the copper electromagnets hidden inside discarded toys.

Join Carly to make your own stained glass and cedar suncatcher. You'll learn to break and shape glass, layer it into laser-cut cedar shingles, and finish everything off with some good old-fashioned sanding.
