This month-long series is full of hands-on crafts for ages 9 – 12. Projects use safe and natural materials, and range from woodworking to clay, textiles, sewing, and glass. Each project includes exercises that teach skills to young students such as creativity, craftsmanship, hand skills and material exploration, and yes, STEM, although we like to say STEAM because art plays a big part as well. Students will make craft projects to take home over the course of the series. Drop-In attendance is welcome. Please make sure you RSVP 24 hrs in advance so we can prep supplies.
