About This Activity
In this handwork class, students will learn many foundational skills for various fiber arts. Students will have the opportunity to learn hand sewing, knitting, and crochet. We dive deep into each area so students can learn perseverance through each project and joy when a project is completed. Handwork encourages students to cross the midline of their bodies and visualize the steps to complete a project. This strengthens neural pathways, reinforces math skills, and provides opportunities for light meditation or an “out breath” in the school day. Students are encouraged to use their own creativity, while we all might make the same project, each student’s work will be different from their neighbor’s. Projects in this class are on a three year loop, so your student can take the class three years in a row and not repeat a project. Teacher: Katie Filer
