Fiber Arts (Morning Instruction)
For students that want to learn or build upon sewing basics. Students sew by hand and machine, cut patterns, and develop their own personal sewing kit. They will begin by sewing bags, pillows, and simple clothing. As they gain more experience and skill, more complex projects follow. Students will love making things for themselves and their loved ones!
Mixed Media (Afternoon Instruction)
A multi-media class for kids who love art and want to have fun! Students will explore a variety of approaches, mediums, and techniques. They’ll learn the basics of composition, pattern, line, texture, scale, color, shading, and contrast through projects inspired by imagination and observation. Media may include sculpture, wearable art, mosaic, acrylic, collage, pastel, print making, and comics.
