- Drawing
- Painting (canvas and miniatures)
- Sculpture

Observatory with Jay
Build your own telescope, learn to map the night sky, then hunt with a 6″ Newtonian reflector:
- The Milky Way overhead
- Double and multiple star systems
- Star clusters and planetary nebulae
- Distant galaxies
Campfires and fellowship in between. Clouded out? Indoor lessons and hands-on telescope training continue.
2 days of art + 2 evenings of astronomy, with outdoor fun in between.

“We are a missionary family living in Kenya. Our daughter wanted to take an AP art class, but we needed a tutor who could mentor her through the art-making process. Sharon was very helpful in giving our daughter guidance via regular online meetings. It was reassuring to know that there is someone guiding our daughter who knows all about AP requirements and processes.”
