Soapstone Carving

quest: twogirls.jpg

Artist Max Sexsmith, from Peterborough, Canada, returns for the 7th summer to offer a camp on carving soapstone. Whether you are new to carving and tried soapstone carving before you are welcome! Create a sculpture such as a loon, Inukshuk, whale tail, turtle, pig or owl from precut soapstone. You will also have time to make small pieces into beads for necklaces, worry stones or whatever you want to create.  In five three-hour sessions you transform rough soapstone into a beautiful polished figure by using a variation of files, rasps and chisels.   Basic files provided by the instructor.
You can see Max's work online at  www.galleryonthelake.com, select Max Sexsmith under Gallery Artists in the lower left hand menu.

You can enjoy camp for a whole day by enrolling in before camp care, lunch program, Clown Camp School, and after camp care.

The Art of Clowning Around

Join master clown Joe Zsigray to bring out the clown within you and have lots of fun. You will find your clown and giving it expression, through make up, costuming, communication,  and movement.

Participants will need to bring some clothing and ordinary house hold items from home for costuming and props. Balloons, harmonica, make-up, juggling bean bags, and magic equipment will be provided.
