Summer Camp '25July
Creatures, Machines and Dreams: Mixed media characters with Jen Schultz
July 14th
Combine a little sewing with quick-drying clay and some magical odds & ends and create your own fantasy characters! Not quite dolls, not quite stuffies -- we will use our imagination, learning to work with clay and mixed materials to add unique details to basic figures like people or animals. Hand or machine-sewing experience are helpful but not necessary. Students will create at least one 8-to-10 inch tall creature, plus learn how to re-use cast-off junk in fun new ways. Material fee: $10 per student.
Involves glue, sanding, supervised use of a power tool for hole-drilling, some basic hand tools.
STITCHING TOGETHER

SEWING: THE NEXT STEPS
July 28th
This is our core camp for kids ages 8-11 who have some or more sewing instruction. We encourage returning students to repeat this camp at least once. We work to keep the project new and enticing for them.
Now that you understand the basics of sewing, let's take the next steps! In this camp we will expand your sewing skills, continue to learn pattern reading and lay out, improve on straight line stitches, hemming, and more. Students will complete a garment and a small project. We will have a variety of patterns from which students may choose. And we always make time for free sewing. Projects include a messenger bag or smock. Materials fee: $35
