Intermediate Art Camp: Farm to Fashion Ages 13-15

Spring is in the air and parent’s thoughts are turning to summer vacation activities to keep kids engaged and learning during the holiday. For many families, this means camp! This year, the Museum is offering four summer camps during July aimed at helping your children understand the intersection of art and history in the Rappahannock River Region.

As part of our continuing slate of programming accompanying our year-long exhibit Woman Adorned: Transcending Time, Transforming Culture, the theme of this year’s four camps is Wearable Art. Each camp will examine how the clothing and jewelry we put on our bodies reflect and shape who we are while learning the techniques to create these items.

The Farm to Fashion camp will look at the process of raising and processing natural fiber materials. These campers will learn about raising fiber animals, spinning and weaving fibers, and working with local artists, will create wearable art from natural fibers

The FAMCC's half-day summer camps run from 10:00 AM until 2:00 PM. The cost for the camp, which includes all supplies and snacks, is $90.00 for museum members and $115.00 for non-museum members.
