Welcome to the Arts & Crafts Project for Franklin County, MO 4-H Clubs
led by Kelly Brinkmann
As a 4-H volunteer, I am leading the Arts & Crafts Visual Arts project (AC312) teaching drawing, fiber arts, and sculpture. I am a professional artist and instructor and at my local studio, Art & Souls, in Washington, Missouri. I encourage creativity with hands-on classes for kids and adults.
Who: Participants must be a member of a 4-H club, sign up on 4-H online, and sign up for the specific arts and crafts project. Members from any 4-H club in Franklin County, Missouri are invited to participate in the arts and craft project up to a maximum of 24 kids.
What: The main purposes of the project are to:
Expose 4-H kids to art concepts, materials, and art forms
Teach kids how to enter their projects in the Home Economics/ Fine Arts Division of the Washington Town & Country Fair
Complete art projects over a total of 6 hours together
Materials needed for each project will vary and will be provided at the time of project sign-up. The cost to participate is little to no cost to cover the cost of materials with options for more advanced projects that include a project fee, such as pottery class for $30.
Where: The projects will be hosted at Art & Souls Creative Studio, 5475 Hwy 100, Studio B, Washington, Mo.
When: Project work will begin in January 2023 and will be completed by July 2023.
