Emma's Art Studio

Deco Arts Camp Plus is a week-long fine arts experience for older elementary artists ready for greater independence and challenge. Rooted in the creative spirit of our original Glen Echo Park program, this expanded camp is now reimagined in our downtown Bethesda studio.

Campers work with more advanced materials and techniques—including silkscreen printing, marbleized paper, terra cotta sculpture, fossil casting, and tempera painting on real canvas—while building strong foundations in composition, color, line, and texture. Projects allow for individual choice, experimentation, and personal voice, with returning campers encouraged to push ideas further through extended or alternative approaches.

With longer studio time and a focus on process and craftsmanship, Deco Arts Camp Plus offers a true studio experience where confidence, skill, and creativity grow together.

Each day balances structured, skill-based lessons in color, shape, line, and texture with ample time for creative exploration and self-expression. Returning campers are offered new challenges and alternative projects that build on prior experience, allowing them to deepen skills and expand ideas.

Join us for a week of imagination, fine art, and joyful making at Deco Arts Camp—where tradition, creativity, and craft come together in every brushstroke.
