Facilitated by artist and astrologer Aryn the Alchemist, Astro-Collaging your Natal Chart is a collage workshop for connecting visual art to the magic of your birth chart. Natal charts are blueprints of the celestial energy present during your birth. They offer insight on your gifts, challenges, and individuality. This workshop is for those interested in deepening their understanding of their natal charts through the creative process of intuitive collaging. Aryn will share their process of creating collages based on natal charts and provide guidance on what visual language they associate with various planets and zodiac signs. Participants will create their own 8.5" by 11" astro-collage.

Open to folks at all levels of astrology and collaging. Aryn will email participants before the event to collect natal chart information (birth date, location and time if known) so they can print you a copy of your birth chart for reference. This is not required but encouraged to get the full experience of the workshop.

Aryn the Alchemist (they/them) is an astrologer, interdisciplinary artist, and writer based in Milwaukee, WI. Their collage art is a practice of devotion to spirit, creativity and astrological study.

In this four-day summer ceramics camp, students will explore the powerful themes of protection, symbolism, and personal meaning through the creation of their own canopic jars. Inspired by ancient traditions and guided by artist and instructor Hattie Grimm, campers will examine what they hold dear—whether physical treasures, memories, emotions, or relationships—and translate those ideas into sculptural ceramic vessels. Each student will design a unique jar that symbolically protects something precious to them, combining hand-building techniques like coils and slabs. They’ll also sculpt a hybrid creature to guard their vessel, drawing inspiration from mythological guardians, historical symbols, and their own imaginations.

Throughout the week, students will sketch, build, research, and reflect, engaging in discussions about vulnerability, safety, and the role of protective symbols in cultures around the world. From the first brainstorm to the final glaze, they’ll be immersed in a creative process that blends storytelling, sculpture, and personal expression. The camp culminates with a sharing circle where students present the stories behind their work, and an opportunity to inscribe their jars with imagery or words using sgraffito techniques. This hands-on, thought-provoking camp offers a deep, engaging experience in both clay and self-expression.

The jars will be fired and glazed and ready for pickup 2-3 weeks after camp.

Step into a world of imagination in this magical two-day ceramics camp where kids will design and build their very own fairy houses! Campers will learn hand-building techniques using slabs, coils, and pinch pots to create whimsical dwellings fit for fairies, forest creatures, or tiny magical beings. Whether it’s a mushroom-roofed cottage, a tree-trunk tower, or a cozy burrow, each house will be one-of-a-kind and full of character.

Along the way, kids will sketch their designs, explore texture and form, and add creative details like tiny doors, windows, and nature-inspired decorations. We'll talk about where fairies live, what kind of spaces feel safe and cozy, and how to bring those ideas to life in clay. Pieces will be fired after camp and available for pickup 2-3 weeks later—ready to be displayed indoors or tucked into the garden to spark wonder all summer long!

Each session covers a different object type, making it a great entry point for beginners or those with some clay experience that want to play with the boundaries of function. Throughout this class we’ll go over key elements of hand-building, like score & slip, using slump molds, and how clay dryness affects what you build.

This session’s focus will be on slab built cups. We’ll go through what makes a cup a cup, and how you can play with some of those elements to create something that is truly unique to you.
