Explore all things fiber arts in this fun vacation week program! Work in a small group setting with award-winning weaver Dahlia Popovits and experience weaving, crocheting, embroidery, and working on various looms. Using a variety of repurposed fabric strips, we'll make wall hangings and table mats and then work on embroidery on garments or potholders.

For a full day of fun in the arts, join our morning ceramics programs, Wheel Throwing Foundations (grades 7–12), at 34 Hayden Rowe, about 1/2 mile down the street. Students will have time for a supervised lunch between programs.
