In this week-long intensive, students ages 10-14 will create accessories and garments, personalizing their wardrobe through a variety of fibers and fashion approaches. Students will create their own personalized keychains using needle and wet felting techniques, learn how to use natural elements to dye and alter cloth, and up-cycle their wardrobe through beading, dye, and garment reconstruction approaches. Students will develop crochet and sewing skills through projects focusing on personal style and will understand how to construct many types of bags and accessories.
Students will walk away with a myriad of craft skills, including needle felting, confidence regarding sewing machines, and the ability to piece together a garment of their choosing using a mannequin. Students will have a variety of garments and accessories at the end of the week, depending on their interests. In addition, students will experience the unique environment of working in a studio setting among other student artists. Students will develop beading and embroidery methods that can be applied to fiber and mixed-media arts.
Basic sewing skills are not required but may help. Beginners are more than welcome, and this course will cater to all skill levels.
