What you'll learn in this kids print making class:
The Day Camp is a unique environment where young artists use their hands to explore the act of making through different traditional textile practices. Our program is led by an accomplished team of creative professionals who believe that artistic expression is fundamental to a child's well-being and development. We foster a sense of community and friendship among campers to help them grow as individuals.Campers build specific skills sets through one-week, project-based classes. In addition to structured class time there is daily free play and playground visits, weather permitting. Every Wednesday, the entire group ventures on a textile or art-related field trip. Each weekly session concludes on Friday afternoon with an Open House where family and friends are invited to view projects on display!Each weekly session offers two options: weaving or surface design. Within each class, students will explore a project that incorporates many different skills. Surface Design: Surface Design is the application of design on a textile, whether a pattern or illustration, through printing, dyeing, or applique and embroidery. Children will explore a variety of media to textiles that will be used for a completed project.Groups will be divided loosely by age, and there will be slight variations week to week based on the number enrolled. Project will be age appropriate.

Leather Working - Weekend Intensive
This course was really fantastic. I learned a lot of skills is such a short amount of time and I really enjoyed every second of it. Kat, the instructor, is phenomenal. She gave individualized attention to each person and really was knowledgable and helpful. I would recommend this course to anyone who wants to learn how to make small leather goods, or just wants to learn a new skill.

Leather Working - Weekend Intensive
The class was great! We learned lots of great techniques and each had as much one-on-one time with Kat (the teacher) as we needed. We were also able to modify the preplanned projects to fit our preferences. I came out of the class with three piece I actually like so I would say it was a success. If you are signing up (which you should) I would recommend bringing a couple yards of leather, as there was a limited supply of large pieces. All leather-working tools were provided as well as a list of places to get everything we need to do it ourselves in the future.

Sewing 101: Reclaim Your Closet
Given the small class size, the teacher was able to give each participant personal attention and help with their individual project(s). In addition to working on your own project, a portion of each lesson is spent on learning and practising various sewing/alteration techniques. Also outside of class hours you are given access to the studio to further work on your projects. The Manhattan studio is comfortable and adequately equipped. It is easy to get to - just a three minute from Washington Sq Station. All in all this was a great experience and good value for money. I also met a great group of people that I will keep in touch with.
