In this camp, we will consider the elements of color and line to create interesting patterns using beads and wire.  One of the projects we will make will be a wire handled vase that can be hung indoors or outdoors.  It is great fun to bend, twist and maneuver the wire until it is pleasing to your eye.  The children will also enjoy using a variety of beading tools under the safe guidance of the teacher.
