with Caroline Campion
Instructor: Caroline Campion

Ages: 14+
Total Class Hours: 4
Description: Do you have a pile of clothes sitting in a mend or donate pile? Let’s give them a second life! Materials will be provided to sew up tears, patch holes, dye something stained, fix buttons, or rework how something fits or looks!
We will have two sewing machines available for those who would like to try their hand at machine sewing. Students will choose from an assortment of fabrics, patches, buttons, ribbons, elastic, and other notions that may come in handy. This is a great day to learn the basics of a sewing machine, get creative with visible mending, and add personal touches to your closet!
Everyone will receive a sewing kit and their new upcycled masterpieces to take home; all you need to bring are clothing items that need a revamp! (Knitted and crocheted items or heavy-duty materials like leather are discouraged- mending supplies will be best suited for easy-to-sew fabrics.)
Supplies: All supplies are provided. You only need to bring your imagination and the clothes you'd like to upcycle!

In order to learn to paint life convincingly, one must learn how to translate into paint the light that falls upon the things we see. This workshop will focus on painting directly from life and realizing the visual effect early in the painting process, avoiding preliminary drawing. This keeps interest and energy throughout the process and conveys a sense of life and joy in the painting. Students will explore color, value, paint quality, edges, and brushstrokes in oil paint. Each morning, there will be a demonstration, and students will design their still-life setups using the provided objects, fruit, and flowers. Students may bring their own objects if they wish.
