Appalachian Arts Craft Center: Kids’ Craft Camp

Tuesday-Thursday, June 26-28, 9:00 AM – 12:00 PM for ages 8-14.
Join us for 3 days of crafty, artsy adventure! Tuesday will be hosted by Kat Haverkamp and Irene Weiler. Explore the Huichol culture art by learning painting techniques and a yarn craft. The Huichol or Wixáritari are an indigenous people of Mexico living in the Sierra Madre Occidental range. They are known for their beautiful yarn painting and beadwork.
Wednesday will be hosted by Betsy Julian. Learn screen printing techniques as you print your own t-shirt! Thursday will be hosted by Sheri Burns. Learn basketry techniques with a unique material: paper! We’ll be painting #140 watercolor paper, cutting it into strips, and weaving a beautiful creation that can be embellished with beads, buttons or a fancy tassel. Space is limited so register early to save your spot in the camp.

Cost: $35 each day for members and $45 for nonmembers. All 3 days: $105/$120. Some scholarships available. Registration deadline: June 17 or until filled. Held at the Appalachian Arts Craft Center. To register, call 865-494-9854.
