These week-long afternoon classes are both fun and challenging for teens!  Classes are from
1 pm - 4 pm.

YOU ARE THE ART
Exploring the surreal and fantastic with artist Sherry Lynn Jollymore students will begin with an initial spark of an idea and throughout the week actualize it in the form of wearable art that transforms the wearer. Using both found and recycled materials, the final project will include the photographing and showcasing of the wearable works! Some sewing experience an asset but not essential.
