Class |  | “I
was struck by how positive the students were in your class and how sincerely they
complimented one another’s paintings. It was a wonderful experience for our son
to explore art in such a nurturing place.” Parent of 7 year old |
“You
have such a warm and encouraging approach to teaching. And the output from the
kids is always amazing and unique. This is our third year and we’ll keep coming
back.”
Parent of 8 year old |
“These classes are so much
more than “child care.” The experiences here foster a lifelong interest in the
arts.”
Parent of 11 year old |

promotes creativity and growth. Thanks!”

Camp | |
| “I
am amazed at what could be accomplished in one week. The camp was structured,
yet allowed freedom for the kids to be creative, innovative and have fun!”
Parent of 12 year old |
“Davis
Studio creates an environment in which each child blossoms personally and artistically.
Our daughter was just beaming at her artists’ reception. Being able to celebrate
each artist’s work and accomplishments with friends and family was such a lovely
culmination to the camp week.”
Parent of 6 year old |
“Thanks
for e-mailing the heads up about the camps. Planning for the summer is about the
farthest thing from my mind right now (February), but when I asked the kids at
breakfast if they wanted to do another of your camps they leapt off their stools,
yelled "YES!!" and did a little dance. So, I'm looking for a camp with two slots
for my girls.”
Parent of 6 and 7 year olds |
“My
daughter had a wonderful experience at art camp. She felt such a sense of accomplishment
and gained in self-confidence. She was given just the right amount of guidance
to support her own creative ideas. Camp helped bring out her passion for art.
We love having her beautiful paintings displayed in our home.”
Parent
of 10 year old | “To
say our son enjoyed your camp would be a great understatement. He hung his paintings
with care all over the house as soon as he got home. He then directed several
projects with his sister, including a sand painting (thank goodness I had some
sand lying around). As he fell asleep last night, he told me that he felt famous
at the art show. He converted our garage into an art studio this morning - he
wanted to start at 6 am, but we persuaded him to wait until 7:30. He was disappointed
that we couldn’t make it look like your studio, but is willing to suffer for his
art and so has accepted the limitations of the garage. You did such a great job
at your camp; it was heartwarming to see how proud all the kids were of their
art – and they were rightly so, because it was all beautiful. I am sure we’ll
be seeing you in the fall.”

“Teresa Davis’ art studio
offers a wide variety of unique, fun and interesting camps. Our kids have been
attending for three years and look forward to it each year. Teresa brings out
the best there is in every budding artist. Her upbeat and positive attitude encourage
the children to be proud of their talents and to enjoy the world of art.”

| Theater Camp |
| 
| “This
theater camp was one of the finest and most fun camps in which my daughters have
participated. The week ends with the children knowing how to put on a production
from the invitations, painting backdrops, making props and costumes to the actual
performance. I would enthusiastically recommend this camp! Your children will
be well taken care of, educated, and come away with new friendships.”
Parent of 9 year old |
“My
daughter has always been quiet and shy. She took a few art classes at Davis Studio
and then decided to give theater camp a try. She was given a few small parts,
and helped with making the set and the costumes. She was completely entertained,
loved performing and felt comfortable in a friendly and accepting atmosphere.”
Parent of 8year old |
“We
were so impressed with how friendly, caring and professional the Davis Studio
staff are with the children at theater camp. Our son had such a wonderful time
learning the process in creating a production. Most importantly he was encouraged
to express himself through acting which he loves deeply. It is amazing that they
can put together such a great play in only a week. We can’t wait to come back
again.”

| Fashion Camp |
| 
| “The
Fashion Design camp exceeded both my expectations and my daughter’s. The girls
hit the ground running on Monday morning and thoroughly enjoyed the entire week.”
Parent of 11 year old |
“The
students had just the right amount of freedom. There were plenty of well-structured
activities to engage and teach the girls about clothing design and sewing production
but also room for them to make decisions and use their own creative judgments.
Terrific camp!”
Parent of 10 year old |
“This
camp was really fun because I made friends and got to design, sew and model what
I made. It was a challenge, and that is what made it fun. Keep doing the purses
- they were my favorite.”
Camper age 11 |
“During this camp I
loved altering old clothing and making it my own. I also loved designing different
outfits to put in my portfolio. This camp is a great place to express your fashion
art.”
Camper age 13 |
“What a wonderful, creative,
confidence-building experience.”
Parent of 12 year old |

| Fairies
and Fairy Houses Camp |
| 
| “This
camp is what every child who has ever dreamed of the world of fairies could hope
to be a part of.”
Parent of 7 year old |
“Fairies
and Fairy Houses camp was a magical week of fairy fun building a village, creating
a gown, magic wand and wreath. It was a wonderful, imaginative, creative and beautiful
experience for our daughter."
Parent of 8 year old |

| Nature
Camp | |
| “This
camp was so much fun! I wish I had I camp like this when I was young. The teachers
provide just enough instruction to allow the children to learn but not so much
that their creativity is limited.”
Parent
of 11, 9 and 7 year olds |
“This
is a wonderful art camp with a supportive community feel. The campers were able
to create fabulous art and to enjoy Vermont and all it’s natural beauty.”
Parent
of 9 year old | “The
girls loved camp! Every day they came home excited about their projects. They
created such beautiful expressions of themselves through their art.”
Parent of 9 & 7 year olds | |
| Game
Design Camp | |
| “This
camp was really great because we got to design whatever kind of game we wanted.
We got cool boards and boxes that looked like real games when we were done. We
also got to pick out playing pieces and dice and other stuff. My game is fun to
play and the other kids games were too.”
Camper – age 11 | “What
an imaginative way to connect art and design to games - an activity that children
love. I was impressed at how professional the games all looked when they were
completed. Attending the designers fair was a great experience because each child’s
game was so unique. It was a pleasure talking to each child about his or her game
and how it worked. I know we’ll be playing my son’s game at home.”
