Camp Kala • Fabric Fun and Colorful Creations! • Ages 6-11

Let’s look at animals, nature, and artists as inspiration for colorful works on fabric! Explore color, shape, pattern, and texture to create fun projects such as your own painted soft sculpture, indigo-dyed batik backpack fabric, weaving, and a mixed-media wearable art piece that tells a story. We’ll learn about textiles and simple artmaking techniques using paint, ink, glue, fabric markers, and more. Create unique long-lasting works of art, including collaborative artworks with other campers, and continue the summer expressing yourself unlimitedly!

She received her BFA in Individualized Studies at California College of the Arts in 2015. Upon graduating, she began teaching K-8th art in numerous schools throughout the Bay Area. As a multiracial woman, creating a classroom environment focused on social-emotional learning, anti-racism, and sharing culturally diverse artists is important to her.

Natalie currently teaches at Kala’s After School Studio program.
