Create a cornucopia and felt some pumpkins in this immersive fiber arts camp. Experiment with fiber to dye and spin, weave, and felt with these hands-on activities. In this Fall Fun inspired camp students learn about color theory and different types of fibers. Dive into dyeing wool with food-grade safe dyes. Once the wool is dry, learn about wet felting and felt items for a cornucopia, and spin yarn on a drop spindle. Students make a witch or wizard hat from their spun yarn. Then learn to warp a simple loom and weave a black cat. And finally, create little needle-felted pumpkins that can be added to the cornucopia. Students need to wear clothing that can be stained for the 1st day only. All supplies are provided. Before Care 7:30-9a @ $25 week
