Textile Arts Center Summer Camp welcomes children ages 5-14 to create within the world of contemporary and historical textiles in exciting week long programs! Each camp week features an in-depth project using fiber & textile techniques, with concepts drawn from textile exhibitions and local textile artists. Textiles exist in nearly every aspect of our everyday lives and function in the world of utility as well as fine art & design. Learning about how something is made and the labor that goes into an object promotes appreciation of making and our ecological impacts. Textile Arts Center empowers youth to see themselves as the makers and innovators of the future and to continue a love of textiles long after summer camp is over. Campers have fun creating textile projects with their peers inspired by textile related exhibitions and local textile artists. Campers will try their hand at printing, felting, sewing, weaving, and dyeing with both natural + synthetic dyes. Each week features a different themed project with a focus on learning new techniques and making skills. The daily camp schedule is Monday-Friday from 9am-3pm at Textile Arts Center in Brooklyn. Each week is $600
