COURSE OVERVIEW
Busy hands make happy minds, and nothing beats the satisfaction of creating something beautiful and useful with one’s hands.
Children learn a new crafting technique each week. Our younger crafters work with pom-pom art, hand-knitting, macrame, felting, rug-hooking, pochoir printing, and more. Our older crafters work on projects that include stenciling, embroidery, sewing, knitting, quilting, and weaving.
Beyond the bragging rights children will have when they show off their creations, the act of crafting brings many other benefits: it hones fine motor skills, gives a sense of accomplishment, enhances confidence and improves concentration. Creating a craft project also helps in goal-setting, planning and problem-solving - even mathematical skills are involved in crafting!
Students learn useful life skills, have fun, and get their creative juices flowing in a welcoming, inspiring setting where experimentation and imagination are always met with enthusiasm and support. All levels welcome!
