Saturday, 10 a.m. – 2 p.m. January 25 (1 day, 4 hours of instruction) La Jolla Studio Explore making fun, floral, fabric collages embellished with embroidery and hand stitching. These little gems can be turned into wall hangings and pillow embellishments, used as part of a quilt or in a visible mending project. You could embellish a cloth tote or decorate your denim jacket with one. We will focus on color and design using basic stitches and appliqué. Nancy will teach you the techniques and walk you through the step-by-step process to assist you with creating your work of art! Nancy’s approach is all about self-expression. Please feel free to bring any fabrics or swatch of clothing that you like or has a special meaning that you would like to include in your project. All the sewing and embroidery is done by hand. It is a slow stitch process. Prerequisites: Please be able to thread a needle, tie a knot repeatedly, and make a basic running stitch. (A bonus if you can backstitch.) Materials: Students to bring: A needle or two for sewing and embroidery, embroidery thread or floss, sharp fabric scissors, any fabrics, bits of lace or clothing that has a special meaning, beads, or baubles that you would like to include in your project. Please pack a snack! Instructor to bring: The instructor will provide background fabric, fabric scraps, bits and bobs, embroidery floss and threads, basic tools, samples for inspiration, and stitch-sample books. *If you don’t need to use any of the instructor’s supplies—and you have lots of opaque and transparent fabric scraps, embroidery thread, floss, and needles, as well as a background fabric in linen or vintage cotton approximately 18” x 18”—you can bring them and forgo paying instructor for materials. *Please note: The best fabric is linen, cotton, or something used or vintage. If you want to stitch on knit fabrics (T-shirt type), you can. NO heavy fabrics like denim! We will be layering many pieces together.

Monday, November 11 from 12:30 p.m. – 4:30 p.m. This Woodworking Camp is all about building and designing in wood! Children will learn about the safe use of tools as well as the properties of wood while making projects. We’ll be upcycling wood and 2x4s into step stools, seating, and game prototypes. Projects and depth of skill exploration are matched up to the children’s age/ability. The first part of the day is structured around a step stool project so that campers can learn tool safety and get comfortable with our materials and workflow. The 2nd part of the camp will encourage children to sketch their ideas and designs, invent fun games that we can work on in small groups, and try out different building methods to see what works best as we spend the afternoon creatively constructing, engineering, and exploring all things wood! This camp is recommended for children 8-12 years. Some power tools will be used. Transfer from Another Liberty Station Arts Camp Optional | No Charge If your child is in another camp in Liberty Station Arts District that ends as ours begins and you need your child transferred, let us know!
