Afterschool
During the school year, we offer an educational and fun afterschool option for children. Students will study both weaving and surface design methods, completing several projects in a semester. Students will also work together on a large, group public art piece. Weaving
Students will learn to dress a 2-harness loom, and the basic principles of weaving while creating fabric of their own. With this fabric, students will design their own products (stuffed animals, pillows, bags, etc) and construct and embellish them through hand sewing and embroidery.
Surface Design
Students will learn the basics of surface design through drawing, screen-printing, block printing, felting, and hand sewing. With their designed fabrics, students will create finished products through hand-sewing such as bags, garments, and home wares.
Afterschool is offered in two semesters (Fall and Spring) on Mondays, Wednesdays and Thursdays from 3–6 PM. We provide pick up from PS 321, PS 372, PS 58 and parents are welcome to have children dropped from 3-4PM. Upon arrival at the Center, students are given a snack and time to do homework. From 4–6 PM students will work with their instructors on textile projects. Each day is limited to 12 students.
