Embroidery is a relaxing and accessible way to be creative. Whether you’ve never embroidered before or want to get back into it, come learn or get a refresher on some basic stitches and explore the use of color. We’ll also look at working with patterned fabrics and easy ways to incorporate stitching into clothing, linens, bags, and more. Please note: An assortment of embroidery thread, needles, base fabrics, and sampler designs will be provided. Students should bring scissors and a bag for transporting items

Let’s get creative with electricity! In this hands-on electronics course, gain experience creating your own electronics. Design custom light-up greeting cards, electric games, mazes, and even musical instruments. Each day consists of a circuitry lesson and a hands-on project, using components like lights, buzzers, switches, motors, and sensors.

Inspired by your active imagination and favorite movies, use special effects to transform a sculptural foam mannequin head into your own spooky or spectacular character. Design props and accessories to add dimension and personality. We will use acrylic paint, model magic, and other mixed media to bring our creations to life.
