Do you - or someone living in your house - often have your head in the clouds, in a world of heroes and villains, magic and science that’s so weird it’s basically magic, if we’re honest?

Do you - or someone you love - spend a lot of time gaming, with manga or on WebToons, writing fanfic of your favorite characters that you wish were in love (they are!), or role playing?

Do you - or someone you love - always act like the empty cardboard paper towel tube is a sword??

Do you - or someone you love - love making stuff with your hands?

Great news! If any of this is true, you or someone you love is already a COSPLAYER in their heart, and this is the camp to bring it all out!

What we’ll do:

• Over the course of one week, students will visualize and design a 2D pattern to actualize into a 3D prop of their choosing.
   

• Students can choose a character from many universes and properties like Zelda, She Ra, Fortnite, Owl House, and many more. A low instructor to student ratio ensures that each student has access to individual custom coaching. Your instructor will be available prior to the camp to help you make a great choice!
   

• We’ll learn techniques to take the 2D design into 3D with skills including design, drafting, sculpting and building from diverse materials such as EVA foam, Worbla, Sentra, and other thermoplastics and cool cosplay materials!
   

• We will break down each project and plan together, learning to take a big task and turn it into small, executable pieces.
   

• At the end of camp, each student will take home a prop, and hopefully, the skills and knowledge to build more!
   

  Before Camp:

  Upon signing up, you’ll receive a short questionnaire for the student, and some more information for the family!
  
  Please read and respond to this questionnaire NO LATER than two weeks before class. This allows us to plan for the most fun, learning, and best possible outcomes for everyone.
  
  Students will be asked to commit to one of two projects. Because of material costs, and the timeframe available, projects cannot be changed once class has started. Thank you for your understanding. 

   

  PREREQUISITES
  There are no prerequisites. Anyone can start at this beginning level class.
  Students may be able to choose more ambitious projects if they have any of the following skills or experience:

• Drawing and drafting by hand

• Experience creating vector graphics

• Sculpting in any medium, including polymer clays or paper mache, or digitally

• Love to build things from kits (there’s no kit for this class, we’ll be making it all from scratch  - but it fulfills the same 3D building niche)

• Have basic crafting experience with glues and simple cutting tools like Xactos
