NEW “GO CREATIVE”
WORKSHOPS FOR CHILDREN AND TEENS AT WHEATON VILLAGE
MILLVILLE, NJ - Wheaton Village will offer a variety of special workshops for children and teens beginning in August and continuing through November. They are:
Monoprints on Glass
Instructor: Jean Jablonski
August 21, 10 a.m. to 12 p.m.
One Parent and One Child (ages 5 to 8)
Tuition: $20 Members: $18
Learn how to create beautiful one-of-a-kind prints using basic art materials. The class begins with a quick walking tour of the Village for inspiration. When arriving in the classroom, students apply water-based inks to glass printing plates to achieve various lines, shapes, and textures. A sheet of paper is rubbed onto the plate and gently removed to reveal a monoprint (one print!). These prints can be used as decorative paper for projects or framed. No experience necessary.
Wheaton Village Sketchbook

August 21, 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. - Ages 9 to 12
September 17, 10:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. - Ages 13 to 17
Tuition: $32 Members: $28
During this workshop, students make their own sketchbook by marbling paper for the cover and learning a simple bookbinding technique to put it all together. Once the sketchbooks are complete students tour the grounds at Wheaton Village and spend time drawing the surroundings. At the end of the day students share what they’ve drawn. A fun filled afternoon for beginners and advanced. No experience necessary.

Students adjourn to the classroom where they learn to design, cut, and assemble colored sheet glass tiles. The tiles will be fired in a kiln after the class ends and can be retrieved later in the week. A perfect introduction to kilnformed glass. No experience necessary.
