Hey Everyone! I’ve created something really special at Davidson Town Hall this summer specifically for Middle and High Schoolers who love ART!

Summer Studio is a small neighborhoody cohort studio experience for middle and high school students who love to create and make! Perfect for those wanting to meet new creative friends!
- Drawing
- painting
- weaving
- photography
- design
- storytelling

…all in a relaxed, intentional space right here in town. Small group. Open studio vibe (slight structure to create safe space and learn from each other, but not rigid, it’s more of an autonomous feel.) All materials and supplies included for use during studio time. ❤️

Hi everyone! ☀️ Wow, days like today make me excited for summer.

The breeze, the light, people out walking… it reminds me how nice it is when kids have space to slow down and just create.

This summer I’m hosting a Summer Studio at Davidson Town Hall for ages 11–15, in partnership with Davidson Parks and Recreation, inside the beautifully remodeled Town Hall auditorium.

It’s not a loud camp environment. Think more of a relaxed studio space where students can spread out and work on drawing (yes, manga too), weaving on real looms, filmmaking, painting, or mixed media.

Some kids like to work quietly, others like sharing ideas and collaborating. Both are welcome.

We already have a small group of 12–14 year olds forming, which I’m really excited about, and it’s shaping up to be a really thoughtful group.

My goal is simply to create a space where creative kids can spend time doing what they love and leave the week proud of what they made.

If your young person enjoys making and creating, they would likely feel very at home in this kind of studio environment.

GALLERY CRAWL

Let’s celebrate our young creatives and do something fun!!! 🥰

Drop a photo in the comments of something your teen or young person created that they’re proud of. Drawing, acting, dancing, painting, digital art, sewing, film stills, woodworking, poetry pages… anything.

Let’s turn this thread into a mini gallery crawl and celebrate the talent our young people are carrying around.

I’ll start by sharing a few pieces from students I’ve worked with over the years.

And if your teen is looking for a space to create more this summer, I’m hosting a Summer Studio at Davidson Town Hall partnered with Davidson Parks & Rec. Happy to share details. ❤️☀️🌱🌱☀️.
