This program was born from years of working with Sirin’s incredible teen artists—giving us both a deep appreciation for their challenges and the need for a space that’s truly their own.

This summer, we’re diving deep into ceramics—shaping, sculpting, and firing up the kilns to bring bold ideas to life. Our field trips to museums like The Walters and BMA will give us the chance to study our chosen subjects in depth, discuss and compare what we see, and sketch directly from masterpieces. These visual notes will then serve as inspiration for original studio projects.

But art isn’t the only thing on the agenda. We’ll also be sketching in nature, taking our drawing pads to Kinder Farm Park and Cylburn Arboretum to capture landscapes, animals, and whatever catches our eye. Whether working in the studio or outdoors, we’ll be embracing different environments to fuel our creativity.

More than anything, this program is about building a space where creative teens can connect, collaborate, and enjoy an (almost) unplugged experience surrounded by like-minded artists.

To better suit our teen artists' pace and sleep patterns, we’re adjusting our schedule—starting later at 10 AM and extending the day to 6 PM. This gives students more time to work at their own rhythm and dive deeper into their projects without feeling rushed. In addition to the lunches and snacks students bring from home, we’ll provide delicious, warm home-cooked meals every day (included in tuition), with bonfire lunch as a special treat.
