Let the wild rumpus start in this whimsical fiber art sculpture camp where mythology, folklore, and the natural world spark wild creativity. Campers will dive into character design and storytelling as they sculpt fantastical creatures and imaginative insects using fiber-based and natural materials like yarn, felt, feathers, and botanicals. From sketch to sculpture, each artist will bring their own unique creature to life, celebrating personal expression and the wonder of the world around us.

About the Teaching Artist: Taryn Singleton
Taryn is a local mother, teacher and multimedia artist with an MFA from the University of Tulsa. In her fine art practice she works non-objectively, inventing characters and landscape spaces in paint, fiber, and mixed media. She then navigates these spaces using observation, abstraction, line, shape, pattern, color and the cultivation of accidents. As a teacher, she loves to encourage children’s natural inclination towards experimentation and play in art through fundamentals. To learn more about Taryn’s work visit https://tarynsingleton.com/. 

What to Expect
A day at Camp Philbrook starts in our studios, but we quickly use the whole museum: art, gardens, etc. to explore what it means to be a creative thinker and maker. Our workshops are geared towards getting messy, working together and making space for every child’s ideas.

Here are a few things to know:

1. This is a drop-off camp.
2. All campers are required to be toilet trained and able to use the toilet without adult assistance.
3. We offer Before and After-Care.*
4. All-Day campers need to bring a peanut-free lunch from home.
5. We have pretzels or Goldfish crackers as morning snack and afternoon snack built into each camp session. Campers are welcome to bring their own peanut-free snack from home if they would like.
6. We use the whole museum, which means we spend ample time outside when the weather permits. Please pack a water bottle daily and arrive wearing sunscreen and bug spray.
7. Your days at Philbrook will be filled with creative energy and fun! Please make sure to dress for mess and outdoor exploration.
