CONCEPT In collaboration with the Aspen Center for Environmental Studies (ACES),
this workshop explores the synergy between nature, art and kite building! During this
unique week, students first begin by learning about the science of flight, different bird
habitats, ecology, migration and feather patterns. Students study regional birds of
prey and other local bird species as they simultaneously create artistic studies using
watercolor, colored pencils and Sharpies. As the week progresses, students use what they have
learned as inspiration to make one-of-a-kind handmade kites. Kites are complete with artistic designs
inspired by feather patterns and modern kite engineering methods and materials.
9 — 12
EVENT
The week culminates in a kite-flying celebration and puppet performance celebrating
nature, science, art and community! Free and open to the public, come to Rock Bottom Ranch for a
picnic and party on Friday, June 14 at 5PM. Registration required.
FACULTY Heather Morrow has worked flying, performing, designing and building kites for over
30 years by working in kite shops, competitive kite flying, and performing at Disney World flying
kites off the back of speedboats in spectacular water and pyrotechnic shows. A lifelong dancer,
she became a master indoor kite flyer and tours worldwide with Heather Henson’s environmental
outreach puppetry company, Ibex Puppetry, as a performance artist sharing the Whooping Crane’s
migration and coming-of-age story as an umbrella species in the struggle to survive in our world of
increasing human population infringement upon the habitats of so many fragile ecosystems.

CONCEPT
Nurture a love
of creative exploration in this
9 — 12 fast-paced workshop! Delving
into three-dimensional printing
technologies as a tool and art-
making process, students will
playfully examine the physical/
digital divide. 3-D scans of
hand built clay objects become
a common form as various
computer-modeling programs and techniques
are introduced. Furniture design, architecture
and character modeling are among the topics
presented through Tinkercad and Sculptris.
The open nature of the medium combined
with a focus on real-world application gives
each student lots of opportunities to explore
their own ideas. At the end of the course, we
celebrate with a group show.
FACULTY Elazar Abraham is a digital creative
professional and musician working in Stockton,
