FOR THE FULL LIST OF YOUTH VACATION ARTS & CRAFTS CLASSES IN JULY CLICK HERE.
Looking for something fun, creative, and educational to offer your child during the upcoming school vacation? Makers Mill is offering maker workshops for youth aged 7-13, Monday - Friday, in July. Come to as many classes as you’d like; just be sure to pre-register as they are limited to 6 students. Materials are included for each class.
There will be time in each class for students to take a break, so they should bring their own lunch/snack and drink in a sealable container.
Each youth will require their responsible adult to sign our Youth Waiver at the beginning of their first class unless we already have their waiver on file. This is a one-time requirement.
In this fun, hands-on class, kids will learn basic hand-stitching skills while creating their very own stuffed toy. Choose to make a silly monster, a cuddly creature, or design something completely original! Along the way, students will practice simple sewing techniques, explore fabric and texture, and bring their imagination to life through soft sculpture. Each participant will leave with a one-of-a-kind “stuffie” they’ve designed and made themselves.
Location: Upstairs Arts Space.
