One thing that always amazes us is how creativity comes out in the most interesting ways, whether that be planning your garden or plating a dish. The opportunities for being creative are endless.
This summer we saw creativity and artistic expression come out in one of the more magnificent ways: dinnerware decorating! Young people were given the option to decorate a plate, bowl or mug to their liking, and the results were spectacular.
A lot of people drew inspiration from the garden itself by designing their dinnerware with flowers and their favorite fruits and veggies. Others took a more abstract approach, marking their pieces with intricate patterns, minimalist dots, and squiggles or some free expression lines. Others seized the opportunity to make the plate or bowl they always wanted, whether that be a dragon in the center of a soup bowl or a plate with their favorite sports team logo on it.
The cherry on top of all of this is that after our campers' dishes were decorated, they just needed to seal their designs by baking their dishes in the oven. Then they're water-resistant, dishwasher safe, and ready to use!
