Layers & Loops

Paper Quilting, Collage and Crochet

Rising 6th-8th graders

June 29-July 3, 2026

9:00am-3:30pm

12 students

Jennifer Enloe & Dee Dee Carleton

Class Description:

In this camp, students split their time between crochet and paper quilting/collage. Each morning Jennifer will work with students on paper quilting and collage, they will experiment with layering, pattern, and composition to create bold, textured designs. Dee Dee will take over in the afternoon to teach the single crochet stitch while discovering why crochet is a uniquely handmade craft that cannot be produced by machines. Projects may include crocheting with yarn made from recycled t-shirts, small amigurumi animals, and decorative motifs such as stars, hearts, and flowers. Throughout the day, students will break for outdoor and social time. This combination of classes will emphasize sustainability, thoughtful making, and the value of art created by hand.

All projects are specifically designed to accommodate students of all skill levels and can be adjusted accordingly to meet each student's specific needs. No prior art experience is needed.
