DESCRIPTION
Join us for a week of creativity and exploration in Woven Wonders, a hands-on summer camp led by artist Margie McDonald! Designed for children ages 8 and up, this camp invites young artists to dive into the world of weaving using a variety of materials, including natural fibers, paper, yarn, and fabric.
Throughout the week, campers will build their own looms from everyday objects and experiment with both two-dimensional and three-dimensional weaving techniques. From intricate patterns to sculptural forms, they’ll discover the endless possibilities of interlacing materials.
The week will culminate in a collaborative yarn bombing project, transforming a part of the campus into a vibrant woven installation. Whether beginners or budding fiber artists, campers will leave with a newfound appreciation for the art of weaving and their own handmade creations to take home.
Come ready to warp, weave, and wonder as we turn ordinary materials into extraordinary works of art!
