Fashion Arts Summer Camp for Girls

Fashion Arts Summer Camp for Girls

About

Have fun and learn hand sewing, design, and fashion techniques using upcycled garments - and outdoor play- at LMN Wedge Studio! In this week-long summer camp, we will explore age-appropriate basic hand-sewing, embroidery, fabric crafting, embellishment and designing upcycled fashions with a focus on low-sew crafting, using tshirts and tshirt material. We'll also have free play, story time, and outdoor time. This is a great way for your 5-8 year-old girl to have fun and gain experience within a supportive small group environment, and she'll go home with cool finished projects and new skills she can show off! This camp is led by Laura Mae Noble, founder and teaching artist at LMN Wedge Studio in Wicker Park, along with 1-2 teaching assistants. In addition to upcycled fashion and fabric crafting, we offer healthy snacks each day, and (weather permitting) we will go outside for play, further creative practice (like sketching and tie-dye!), shaking out the sillies - and picnic lunch. The studio is located at the intersections of Milwaukee, Damen, and North, in Wicker Park, just a block away from the lovely Wicker Park and its playground. The 606 trail is two blocks north, serving as another place to explore outdoors, get some exercise, and maybe sing some camp songs. We are limiting this camp to 8 kids only, so that each child gets the guidance she needs from Laura and her teaching assistant. We were girls once, and we want to encourage girls -women of the future- to have fun, speak up, and let their knowing grow in a safe and nurturing community environment. We believe in girls' ability to perceive, create, and contribute to their world through creative resourcefulness, and camaraderie with other girls and women. Girl Up!
