About
Sticky Art Lab Camps offers hands-on projects such as Wood Scraps Sculptures, Pop-Up Fun, Watercolor, Product Design, Mixed Media Portraits, Clay, Miniature Worlds, Nature Arts, Sew What!?!, Make-it-Move, Faux Foods, Fantasy Play & Art, Comics & Zines, Sticky Ooey Gooey, Clay Works, Fantasy Play, Drama-Rama, Art Meets Tech, Surface & Texture, Wood Shop, and Edible Art. Camp groups are limited to 14 spots, and snack and lunch breaks take place in a courtyard outdoors, weather permitting. Campers are asked to bring lunch and two snacks from home without nuts or nut products, wear “art” clothes and appropriate footwear for the outdoors, and submit a completed Emergency Contact/Waiver Form before the first day of camp.
• Ages: 6–12 years old
• Schedule: Day camps run from 9 am to 3 pm, with some short-week Nature Arts sessions and a separate Adult Ceramic Series that meets for 2-hour classes over 6 weeks.
• Price: Day camp is $115 for the first camper and $110 for a sibling; week camp is $575 for the first camper and $550 for a sibling, with a possible $25 additional materials fee for certain subjects; Nature Arts short week is $460; the Adult Ceramic Series is $485 per student; late fees of $50 may apply for overdue or unpaid invoices, and summer camp fees are split into two transactions.
Sticky Art Lab states that it is committed to low waste and conserving resources and uses exciting reuse materials. The program notes that emphasis is on what and how campers learn, with attention to meeting campers at their skill level, whether beginner or advanced. Day drop-ins are not available during summer camp, and Counselor In Training (C.I.T.) volunteer roles are offered for students in grades 8–12.
Resident potter and woodworking artist Terri Lambert has been teaching pottery at Sticky Art Lab since 2012 and leads the Nature Arts camp with four days of nature artistry. Terri Lambert is a retired production potter and instructs the Adult Ceramic Series using Bauhaus inspired pottery techniques, from hand building to working on the wheel, with flexible meeting times and a four-student limit. One camper described the experience by saying, “This is like the best camp ever. I can't believe I did all of this myself.”
Sticky Art Lab states that it is a place where children and adults can experiment together with reuse materials and bring home handmade projects, with a focus on diverting materials from the waste stream. The organization connects with community groups and events such as Maker Faire, Mini Maker Faire, Sunday Streets, The Ecology Center, Transition Berkeley, Youth Spirit Artworks, Solano Stroll, The Freight & Salvage, Berkeley High School Internship Program, University Avenue Association, public library events, and other school fairs, field trips, and special events, and it hosts the Biofuel Oasis Urban Farm Workshop Series.
