Cardboard Art Party with Sadie Griesmer (Ages 12+)

Cardboard is a universal, durable, abundant, and accessible material found in everyday life. So what exactly can we do with it? A lot!

In this studio class, young artists will be challenged to envision and execute sculptures and artworks crafted from cardboard.

We will learn about: 

• Different types of cardboards and their characteristics

• Surface treatment and patina 

• Cardboard attachment and construction techniques 

To inform our work, we will explore three exhibitions on display at CCMOA this summer: David Phillips: 57 Years of Sculpture, Cape Cod Open Sculpture Invitational 2026 (CCOSI), and the Permanent Sculpture Garden.
