Kit Camp: Create • August 2021

August 16 – 20 from 10:30 am – 12 pm 

Recommended Ages: 9+

Create amazing pieces of artwork by harnessing your talent through fiber art! Learn four different fiber art techniques in a week, using our customized fiber art kits to create projects including: Clay Bead Creations, Mini Macrame, Cookie Cutter Needle Felting, and Yarn Spinning. Meet with one of our skilled teaching artists during Monday – Friday Zoom sessions for live demos on each art project. Learn about the history and modern application of each fiber art technique, ask questions in a chatroom during each session and in live group sessions after the demos, and have a show & tell with your peers! With each registration, you will receive secure access to Zoom camp sessions, a link to our awesome online tutorials to use any time for project help, and two kits for each project — for a total of 8 kits available for curbside pickup or shipping. Join us to create one-of-a-kind pieces of fiber art with a friend or loved one!
