Summer Camp: Stitching Stories

Ages 6–8
Teacher: Amanda Tucker
Can you tell a story with fabric, buttons, and thread? Find out as we learn basic stitches and use fabrics and fibers to create works of art. We’ll look at early American quilts, Anishinaabeg beaded bags, colorful mola from Panama, and Indonesian batiks to see how artists have stitched their stories. Then, in the studio, you’ll create a fabric collage and a one-of-a-kind plushie, and experiment with yarn, buttons, and beads.
