With a chick-chick here

What better way to spend the summer than with a flock of friendly sheep? Perhaps a clutch of newly hatched chicks? A little ukulele?

Salmonberry School has reached the halfway mark of its summer program offerings. One glance at the calendar tells the story:  Traditional Woodworking: FULL.  Chickens 101: FULL.  Music and Storytelling: FULL.  Arts Around Orcas: FULL. Sheep 101: FULL.

Salmonberry’s summer classes introduce kids ages three to 12 to a wide range of traditional arts and craft has captured the imagination of island parents and children alike.

Next week, Salmonberry’s art teacher Andrea Cohen will take students on a plein-air journey around the island. Students will take sketch books into the forest, easels into farms and fields and even try a little found-object en plein-air collage.  They will also visit local artists’ studios to see professionals plying their craft using a wide range of media.

A few classes are still open for enrollment this summer.  Check Salmonberry School’s website for details: www.salmonberryschool.org/summer-programs-2012.

Limited spaces are still available at most age levels for the regular academic year as well.
