SUMMARY:Fun with Fiber: Stitching\, Felting and Weaving with Jenny Torino
DESCRIPTION:Monday – Friday\, July 27 – 31 \n10 am – 12 noon \nGrades 2 – 6 \n$135 per student \n  \nJoin us for Fun with Fiber where students will discover stitching\, felting and weaving while creating their own unique fiber works during the week’s art projects. \n\nSession 1: Scrappy Plush Monster Hand Sewing Project \nLearn hand sewing skills and design a custom monster plush with fabrics scraps of fun textures and colors. Learn how to thread a sewing needle\, straight stitch\, whip stitch and sew buttons. Leave with a cute plushie. \nSession 2:  Felt Pennants \nAre you a fan of a band\, sports team\, school or town and want to express your creativity? Make a triangular felt pennant to decorate your walls by creating lettering\, a color scheme and pictures. Then cut your design from flat felt sheets and put your pennant together. You will design lettering and pictures then learn how to lay it out and attach to your pennant. \nSession 3: Wet Felt and watercolor Geodes \nGeodes are rocks that are plain on the outside and contain beautiful crystals and colors on the inside. We are going to make Geodes out felt sheets wool through a process called wet felting. You will learn all about where wool comes from\, what you can make with it. Next create a large watercolor geode using torn paper\, ink and watercolor. \nSession 4 and 5: Woven Dream Catchers \nLearn how to weave in the round with colorful yarns. Add hanging strings\, beads and feathers to make it a dream catcher. \n  \nAbout Jenny Torino: \nI am an interdisciplinary artist that primarily uses fibers such as felting wool\, textiles and paper to create felt sculptures and interactive spaces. I focus on the living ecosystem and patterns in nature that often get overlooked. I allow myself to work slowly\, leading to hyperfocus on shape\, form and color. Focusing on these details becomes a meditation. \nMy felted sculpture highlights the connection between artist & material and art & the ecosystem. Familiarity and intimate connection with every stage of wool production is part of my process. My work also involves supporting and building community by using materials from small farms and sharing knowledge of the felting process with the public. \n  \nSummer Art Scholarship Form \nREFUND AND CANCELLATION POLICY \n
