Makers Unite!!

If you’re an artist/maker who loves to share your passion and sell your wares, perhaps you’d like to join us as a teacher/vendor for the Labor Day Weekend Open Studios.

Open Studios Labor Day Weekend:
Art Classes and Craft Sale August 31 & September 1 at Searsport Shores Ocean Campground

There will be three communal maker spaces for: (1) Printing, Dyeing and Surface Design, (2) Woodworking and Carving, and (3) Stitching, Weaving and Spinning. These spaces will be open from 10:00AM to 4:00PM with an hour’s lunch break on Saturday and Sunday.

Artist teachers can choose between being paid $200+lunch or a complimentary campsite for three nights for the entire family. If you (the artist/teacher) would like to have a vending table to sell either craft making supplies and/or the work that you create, a table will be provided for a $50 discounted fee.

If you’d like to be considered, please contact Astrig by commenting below or by email: relax(at)campocean.com. If a vendor table is all that you need, you’ll find the application here.

If you want to come and play…by yourself or with loved ones…it’s really easy to participate!

Your pass will allow you to come and go in any of the studio spaces from 10:00-4:00 on Saturday and Sunday. Each teaching artist will have projects or skills they will be sharing and you can focus on just one or two…or skim through many! The material kits will be inexpensive and the classes are open to anyone with the appropriate attention span (and dexterity if sharp tools are involved). Open Studios Labor Day Weekend welcomes both campers and non-campers alike. Passes can be purchased here.

A list of classes will follow by Mid-May but so far we have teachers for applique quilting, felting, rug braiding, spinning and plant & rust dyeing to name just a few.
