About This Activity
Explore the exciting world of textile art! In this specialty camp led by Corlears studio art teacher Sara Nixon, rising fifth and sixth graders will learn the basics of various textile processes including weaving, sewing, felting, and more! Campers will work with a variety of media including fabrics, dyes, and yarn, and make both wearable and non-wearable pieces. During their weekly trips, our young artists will draw on-site at creatively inspiring locations that may include the Whitney, the New Museum, the art walk at The High Line, or even local galleries. The culminating activity for Thrilling Textiles will see the 10/11s demonstrating their learning by acting as tour guides to their fellow campers in a museum of their own creation! But that's not all!
