every year at the end of camp, our campers get to spend their hard earned camp dollars at the art camp auction. the items theyā€™re bidding on were some of things that staff made.

Some more unclaimed pieces from Spring Ceramic classes at Lee. These pieces were made at Lee Art Center this past spring in the Get Messy Play with Clay or the Handbuilding for Kids or the Handbuilding for Families classes. This work will be at TJ to be claimed- please have a look and see if you or your child recognizes any of this work and you can go by and collect it. šŸ™‚šŸŒˆ

Pieces from the spring 2019 get messy play with clay class and the kids hand building class at Lee. If your child recognizes any of these as their work, you can pick up at TJ art studios at TJ community center on S Second St.
