About the Teaching Artist: Taylor Painter-Wolfe
In my personal art practice, I make and dye felted wool that I use to create abstract landscapes inspired by shapes and textures found in nature as well as aerial photography and satellite images. I am very inspired by natural environments in my own work and I enjoy having the opportunity to help students tap into that inspiration for themselves. I have been teaching since 2008 and have taught in public and private schools and a variety of other settings including summer camps, private classes, and various non-profit arts organizations. I also regularly teach workshops for adults. I currently focus primarily on teaching fiber art and in particular the many interesting ways people can use wool to create amazing art. I love working with this versatile material and I always enjoy the opportunity to pass on a love of wool to young artists. It is usually not a material they have been exposed to in the context of art making and I find that they are always excited by the prospect of trying something new. My preference is always to introduce students to materials and techniques and then let them experiment with their new found skills and their own creativity. I do not have expectations for how a project must look or what it must be in the end and I love following the lead of students and letting their creativity and interests dictate which directions the class goes in.

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.

*Before or After-Care
Before-Care or After-Care is offered for each week of Camp Philbrook for an additional $25 for Members and $30 for Not-Yet-Members per child.
