Kerplunk! in the Fall

   Thanks to all Kerplunkers who braved Baltimore's summer heat to make some great art with us! It was great to see some new and old faces. And of course, we would love to see you all back in the fall.
Mark your calendar with the fall dates: November 12th- December 10th,
 same time 12 to 3.

Have a great beginning of your school year and we'll see you soon!

Kerplunk! August 6th

For the final Kerplunk! of the summer we created image transfers using old books and packing tape! Once soaked in water, the images that had been pressed onto the packing tape can be made into transparencies by rubbing away the paper. The image sticks on the tape! They can then be stuck on a variety of surfaces to decorate. We made ours into postcards.
If you're interested in making your own, here are some instructions: http://www.scrapscene.com/2008/04/thursdays-tutorial-packing-tape-transfers.html
Here are some of the creative designs that kids came up with (and a silly drawing):

Kerplunk! July 30th

In this session, Kerplunkers had a great time decorating and assembling pinwheels. We had an excellent turn out and even more excellent displays of creativity.
