Ages 11-14: 1C35 *NEW* Soft Sculpture with Giant and Mini Stuffies Week 1 PM
Summer Camp | Available
Dive headfirst into the world of soft sculpture, where your imagination takes shape — literally. This studio is all about designing and sewing wildly creative plush creations – from oversized floor-pillow creatures to a quirky collection of mini stuffies and charms. Along the way, you’ll explore how to draft and modify patterns for unusual shapes like spikes, wings, horns and tails. Want to accessorize your creature? Go for it! Think hoodies, capes, hats – even tiny backpacks for maximum personality. You’ll learn essential skills like pattern design, appliqué and limb attachment, while discovering how clever 3D sewing techniques transform flat patterns into fully formed soft sculpture characters.
