GSSEM Creative Compass Patch Program: Join artists Amanda Koss and Sarah Springer to create lasting artwork using clay and other materials inspired by your own unique designs!
The GSSEM Creative Compass Patch Program, under the creation and expertise of local artist Amanda Koss, is designed to be a transformative program to inspire Girl Scouts to reach their highest potential by recognizing and unlocking their inherent creative abilities! By connecting Girl Scouts with working artists, artisans, and innovative opportunities - the program fosters curiosity, self-expression, and personal growth. In a supportive and empowering environment, Girl Scouts will explore unconventional ways to impact their communities while discovering their own unique creative paths.
Created by artist and curator Amanda Koss, this program reflects her commitment to empowering youth, nurturing creativity, and providing access to the tools and opportunities needed to achieve their dreams.
Creating with Clay:
During this event, participants will create a wall hanging necklace holder from their own designs, as well as a pendant made from clay with guidance from our expert artist Sarah Springer. Sarah is a multidisciplinary artist and educator, self-taught in ceramics and glassblowing, working at the intersection of material and process. As an educator, Sarah encourages and fosters experimentation of ideas and material usages.
