Did you know that making friendship bracelets is a two thousand year old tradition? We will use beads, bangles, and elaborate patterns to jazz up the more traditional string and gimp creations. Choose beautiful colors of string then learn to braid designs such as candy stripe, criss cross, and skinny stripe. Add in fun beads or charms to make them even more special. You will go home with bracelets galore and plentiful supplies to make more. This is “knot” your everyday friendship bracelet making class. Beginners to experts welcome.

Riding roller coasters is so much fun, but building your own is a different kind of thrill. Make a roller coaster in Minecraft using minecarts, powered rails, and redstone. Develop your engineering, sequential logic, and spatial reasoning skills as you make your coaster pass through underground caverns or soar high into the air. The only limit to your roller coaster is your imagination!

Learn to hand sew three-dimensional “puffies” out of felt—everything from food, animals, shapes, and even emojis. We’ll sew and stuff our puffies, then embellish them with sparkles and embroidery. Bring your own designs and ideas or find inspiration from the class.
