Camp Description:
Working in small groups with a talented group of artists, students will learn how to do beadwork, raised beadwork, embroidery, applique, fringe work, cut work, and fabric design. Students will work on individual take-home projects including quilt wall hanging using applique and embroidery, raised beaded barrette or patch, cut work pillow, and their own designed fabric. And like an old fashion sewing bee, together the students will work to create a quilt for public display.
