March Break Sewing Camp

In this five-day upcycled sewing camp, kids aged 10 and up will learn foundational sewing skills while transforming old clothing into something entirely new. Think: well-loved t-shirts, worn-in jeans, and button-down shirts reborn as bags, accessories, or keepsakes. We’ll cover sewing machine basics, cutting and pinning, simple construction techniques, and how to work with different types of fabric.

Monday-Friday | 9:00–12:00 | March 16-20
📍 Guelph Studio Space
Min. 3 / Max. 6

Kids' Soft Circuits (Beginner): 3-week Session

This winter, kids 10+ can stitch real working circuits into felt designs using conductive thread, sewable LEDs, and a Lilypad battery pack. Over three Mondays, they’ll make glowing wearables and a hoop art night light while learning beginner sewing + simple electrical engineering in a way that feels more like magic than math. No experience needed. Just curious hands and a love of making. All materials included.

Tuesdays | 4:30–6:00 pm | March 10, 24 & 31
📍 Guelph Studio Space
Spots are limited.
