Bring your words to life in fabric! In this fun and creative workshop, you’ll design one-of-a-kind projects that speak from the heart. Learn how to create your own alphabet designs and use fusing and raw-edge appliqué techniques to add meaningful names, words, or phrases to banners, pillows, and quilts.
Personalize your projects with the names of loved ones, favorite places, or heartfelt expressions. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced quilter, you’ll leave inspired—and full of new ideas for your next creative adventure. This is a two-day class and will meet again on 2/28.

Curious about innovative circuitry? Ignite your creativity and discover how to light up any art project!
While exploring the basics of circuits and switches, teens will use paper, LEDs and more to craft illuminated butterflies, fabricate colorful mushrooms, and capture constellations. Plus, teens can use what they've learned at a free-build station with a variety of materials to bring their glowing ideas to light!
ONLY teens in 6th through 12th grade will be allowed into this program. Please be respectful of this age limit for safety and to encourage peer learning with other teens. More information
