Inspired by OSU Museum's Cimarron National Works on Paper Exhibition

Prairie Arts Center is excited to once again partner with the OSU Museum of Art for this year's
Fall Break Camp. This 3-day camp will begin on Wednesday, October 15th with a visit to the museum for an interactive tour of Cimarron National Works on Paper, an exhibition brimming with inspiring treatments of the most essential and humble art supply there is: paper! During our 3 days of art making, we will explore a range of techniques, both simple and unexpected, that transform paper into two and three dimensional art. Students should bring a lunch and snack, and come dressed for the weather and making messes.

This one-day workshop gives participants a crash course in introductory screenprinting and monoprinting techniques! Through a combination of the two processes, Mono-Screenprinting produces one-off spontaneous prints, ideal for exploring a more painterly approach to traditional printmaking. Participants will create images by painting directly onto the mesh of a screen with screenprinting ink and then pulling through with a squeegee. We will also explore the same technique using aquarelles, further experimenting with the playful potential of this printing method. Each participant can expect to leave with several custom prints. All materials are provided—just bring your curiosity and creativity!

Explore the art of embroidery in a hands-on workshop where you choose the quote or words that inspire you! Perfect for beginners and a great refresher for experienced embroiderers, this session guides you through essential stitching techniques while creating a design that’s uniquely yours. All materials are provided—including embroidery thread, hoop, fabric, and needle. No prior experience is needed!

In this 1.5-hour workshop, students will learn the basics of slab construction while creating a functional clay picture frame. No prior clay experience is needed—just curiosity and creativity! Participants will roll out slabs, shape their frame, and use texture tools and stamps to personalize their design.
