Machine and hand-sewing are among the most useful skills to learn in the field of textiles. In this class children are safely introduced to operating a sewing machine and learn basic stitches and types of seams. Participants will work according to taste and skill level on a personal project such as a tote bag, pillow, toy or simple garment. Sewing playfully trains focus, simple calculus, and motor skills. The no-mistake approach gives children pride in their work and encourages a lifelong joy in sewing.

We will begin by looking at some works by Nevelson, then students are off on their own exploration!
