Winter 2019
Using a sustainable approach to textiles, students were introduced to a curriculum of lessons that encouraged play and creativity. My fifth grade class learned the basics of hand sewing, beading, crafted wall art, hand tied blanket making, and fiber art appreciation. It was a real joy to be a part of their newly discovered love of textiles.
