(Summer in the Studios) Funky Fibers (Ages 8-10)

We'll explore the exciting world of textiles through simple sewing, weaving, and creative collage. Students will weave their own potholders, reinvent old clothing by cutting and reattaching pieces to create funky wearable art, and craft unique handbags and pillows. They’ll also experiment with fabric dyeing and batik techniques to make truly one-of-a-kind creations. This week will encourage creativity, confidence, and the joy of transforming everyday materials into imaginative fiber art.

Each student is required to have a current Health and Emergency Contact Form on file with Berkshire Art Center. Please fill out a Health Form for each child that will be attending a BAC program. Health Forms are due as soon as possible at the time of registration and no later than one week before a program begins. Please ensure you have your child’s insurance information ready when filling out the form.

Please review the BAC 2026 Summer in the Studios Handbook prior to the program beginning.

For pick up and drop off at Old Town Hall, 9 Main Street, West Stockbridge, there is a rear entrance via Hotel Street that directly accesses the art studio area. Please use this back entrance instead of dropping students off at the front of the building.
