SONGS FROM THE WORLD’S BACKYARD
A collaboration with Valerie Seaberg and
the Art Association of Jackson Hole |
Valerie Seaberg |
| Course Description |
During this 4-day camp, music will sound from our hands, feet and things we make! Join Valerie and friends singing songs from Raffi to Roy Rogers and from Zimbabwe to Brazil. As a multi-media artist, singer and educator, having combined a lifetime of art making with fun, informative teaching on the art and practice of creativity, Valerie has developed a unique approach to her children’s workshops. With a Master’s in Counseling and Art Therapy, she integrates experiential, theoretical and body-oriented approaches to assist children in expressing their full creative potential. Create your own instruments from clay and other materials, shake shakers, stomp stompers and pound drums in rhythm and rhyme. Students who choose to participate can take their newly found talents to the stage at the Art Association’s Art Fair Jackson Hole in a performance on
Friday, July 16! |

| Valerie Seaberg discovered basket making while living and teaching in a remote northern California healing arts school. She was thrilled to craft vessels from the grasses at her feet. “Coiling is slow art. It takes a long time to express an idea and to see the movement of a form realized. It is both meticulous and profoundly meditative work. I enjoy teaching this craft to others as I believe slow art to be one of the antidotes to the franticness of modern life.” A desire to work more spontaneously led Seaberg to working in clay. She began replacing basket centers with clay forms. The hand built centerpieces became so large that they are now an integral part of her work. |
