Mrs. Lisa recently wrapped up her "Canadian Expedition" Summer Camps for both Pre-School and School-Age children, and both were great successes! Each of the camps, which featured instruction in both felting techniques and polymer clay sculpting, intrigued young imaginations as a mystical wintry landscape was fabricated.With the pre-school children, Mrs. Lisa demonstrated a wet felting technique for creating Polar Bears. Participants then were able to create tiny Inuit babies out of polymer clay to pair with their animal friends. But the fun did not end here! Next, the pre-schoolers did some ice-fishing and joined Mrs. Lisa in a giant "igloo" for story-time. And at the conclusion of the fun-filled day, Mrs. Lisa was happy to note that the children "loved it and were very proud of their work."
The school-age "Canadian Expedition" camp was also a great time for the children who participated. In this three-day series, the students also had the opportunity to create precious Inuit babies out of polymer clay. Under the guidance and expertise of Mrs. Lisa, participants gained valuable experience developing their fine-motor skills necessary for constructing these miniature sculpted creations. To showcase their works, Mrs. Lisa also taught a needle felting process for the children to create their very own igloos and baby seal pups to go along with the Inuit babies. "The participants really used their imaginations as they created a background scene and added many of their own needle felted
accessories to their displays," enthused Mrs. Lisa. As a whole, the camps proved to be a great way to have fun and "cool off" in the hot summer weather.
