🎯 Craft & Sew Academy – A Hands-On Design Experience for Creative Kids Ages 8–14
Perfect for absolute beginners or kids with some experience, this school-year program is the official starting point of our prestigious Craft & Design Academy — a creative journey where young makers transform into confident designer-thinkers.
From their very first stitch, students develop real-world skills in sewing, crafting, and design, including:
- Hand & machine sewing
- Embroidery & textile art
- Turning 2D patterns into 3D creations (like toys & pillows)
-
Creative problem-solving & confidence-building
Taught step-by-step in a small-group setting (in-person or online), this program builds strong creative foundations and prepares students to advance into Level Two: Advanced Clothing Design.
