Make one-of-a-kind holiday gifts for your family and friends! Kids (ages 8–13) of all skill levels will enjoy hands-on textile crafts in a relaxed and encouraging environment.
Gifts you’ll make include:
• Macrame bracelet
• Indigo dyed t-shirt* (or other small item)
• Bag charm
• Block printed tea towel
*Note: Kids may bring a 100% cotton, white t-shirt that will fit their gift recipient. Otherwise, we’ll have tote bags or bandanas they can choose from to make their dyed project.
Snacks and beverages will be provided, but students are also welcome to bring lunch and can use our fridge. We’ll also have gift-wrapping supplies, so kids can take home gifts ready for giving!
