Paper & Cloth from the Kitchen Sink with Jen Schultz
Level: for children ages 8-17
Cost: $290 plus a materials fee $15 payable to Jen on the first day
We are super excited to have local artist Jen Schultz join us this summer! She brings to the studio a whole new adventure in texture with hand-made paper.
This new camp immerses kids in the art of making paper and dyeing cloth to create their own hand-sewn books and other projects. With kitchen scraps and a little know-how, you can use those compostables to make paper and dye fabric the natural way. Hand-sewing and scissor skills helpful.
Jen Schultz is a local Twin Cities artist with a rich history of teaching art and sewing (and other subjects) to children and adults alike. Camp Cityfarm at Grace Center, fashion camps at the Textile Center of MN, Jen has shared her creative visions and abundant talent with our community and beyond.
