About

At this unforgettable art adventure, children will step into the wild and wonderful world of elephants-where creativity, conservation, and imagination come together.

Inspiration begins with the magnificent life-sized elephants, Moringa and Marigold, created by The Real Elephant Collective and displayed in the front garden of the Sonoma Community Center. Originally crafted in India as part of a global art exhibition, these gentle giants tell a powerful story about protecting elephants and living in harmony with the natural world. Throughout the week, children will blend art, storytelling, and environmental discovery-imagining migration paths, designing habitats, and reflecting on what it means to coexist with animals thoughtfully and responsibly.

In the studio, young artists will:

  • Sculpt their own clay elephant, learning hand-building techniques and adding unique personality and detail. Each ceramic piece will be professionally glazed and kiln-fired, creating a lasting keepsake.
  • Create a soft, three-dimensional felt elephant using hand sewing and embroidery techniques, practicing patience, fine motor skills, and creative expression.

Children will need to bring their lunch every day as well as a water bottle or drink for each day.

The Sonoma Community Center will provide snacks each day.
