Session Descriptions
Session 1: July 1-10 – Architecture & Design
In this exciting session, children will dive into architecture and design. They’ll create miniature models of their favorite rooms at home and solve design, building, and engineering challenges. The young architects will also collaborate to build an imaginary city with infrastructure, transportation, housing, and recreational facilities. Additionally, they’ll develop projects focused on designing their own homes. Join us for a hands-on experience that blends creativity, teamwork, and practical skills. During the second week, we will venture into the word of design.
Session 2: July 13-17 – GLASS & MOSAICS
Lets take something, smash it and put it back together in a beautiful way! Please bring us any pretty broken pottery, dishware, and we will give it new life! Glass Painting & Mosaics
Session 3: July 20-31 – Eco-Arts & fIBER arTS
Nearly everything has artistic potential. In this session, we’ll transform everyday items, especially those we usually throw away, into new creations. We’ll find art in every used object. We’ll use materials like newspapers, bottle caps, egg cartons, coffee pods, milk bottles, and corks. We’ll also make our own natural bath scrubs and lip balm. We will learn how to conserve, create, and re-create in sustainable and responsible ways. This hands-on experience will show children how to turn waste into wonderful art. During our second week, we will explore the world of art with fabrics. This exploration includes Batik, sewing, fabric collage, wet felting, and more.
Session 4: August 4-14 – Paper Arts & Art with the Masters
Who knew paper was such a diverse material? We will use it for sculpture, jewelry making, weaving, and more. We will make our own paper. We will experiment with different techniques such as marbling, pulp painting, and papercutting. During the second week, we will learn about several famous artists and create work using their techniques.
Session 5: 17-28 – Creative Creatures & Best of Summer ’25: Director’s Choice
The first week, we will explore the animal world, both real and fantastical, as we bring our imaginations to life. Children will draw inspiration from some of the world’s most fascinating creatures. They will unleash their creativity by creating their own creatures. Throughout the week, we’ll delve into the concepts of camouflage and habitats, and much more. Of course there will be no shortage of dinosaurs, or unicorns. During the second week, join Open Studio Founder and Director, Avigayle Adler. She will choose from our most popular and exciting projects throughout the summer. She will also select her all-time favorite projects. No spoilers here!

Our family is so happy that there is a place in Jerusalem like The Open Studio. The creativity that is fostered in this studio is incredible. Each week our kids were free to imagine, and explore art techniques. Avigayle is amazing at encouraging kids to create and re-create whatever art come to their fun little brains. She gives them parameters and then helps them as needed in whatever direction they want to take it. Our son learned so much about science in the the Science of Art class. It was fascinating to me as well. We were only in town for a year, but “The Studio” quickly became a favorite, welcoming place. English and Hebrew are both welcomed easily here, which was definitely helpful for our family. We love you Open Studio! – Angie, Dallas TX
